Liz thought that the saddle fit Falki fine, but since Gloi's got more withers, I think he's a better match for the Boz. He seems to like the Boz better than the sensation and Falki's used to the sensation. Gloi seems to fuss a lot more when I'm saddling up with the sensation than with the Boz. I can get on him with the girth pretty loose and it doesn't move. As far as comfort for me, they are both equally comfortable for me, but the Boz feels a bit more secure. -- Anna Southern Ohio
