>>> By Flora of the treelesssaddle list: Flora has been on the treeless list for a good while, and she seems pretty credible. She seems to be a pretty well-rounded horseperson, having experience in lots of sports and disciplines. She also foxhunts in another Sensation. Foxhunting is a very tradition-bound sport, and her hunt-club apparently dresses to the nines in full tradition. She says that people rarely notice that she's foxhunting in a treeless saddle, but that no one really cares either. She's also said that at the endurance rides she attends (in VA, the Carolinas, Georgia mainly I think...?) she sees as many treeless saddles as treed ones, and that treeless saddles continue to gain popularity in the sport in her region.
