You just can't beat the Sensations for Icelandic's.  The Torsions are nice 
quality, and with as many horses as I have, I like to have a couple of 
different kinds of saddles, but the Sensations are our favorites.

Looks nice.

I want to buy another Sensation myself--a Hybrid because Orri has more
wither than Gat.  I never use my Hrmirir saddle so I'm thinking of
selling that so I can buy a Hybrid.

[IceHorses] Torsion saddles for sale

[Karen Thomas]

There is a Torsion saddle for sale on ebay at the moment if anyone is looking 
for a 
treeless saddle.  It appears to be in at least fairly good condition.  I don't 
own it and 
haven't seen it except in these pictures, but thought I'd pass the link along.  
I like my 
Torsions pretty well - not quite as well as the Sensations, but this one look 
reasonably 
priced for the quality...assuming it doesn't have more wear than the pictures 
show.

Note that the included 44" girth will NOT work with this saddle on an 
Icelandic!  (You'd 
need something more like a 18-24", most likely a 20" or 22" for most 
Icelandic's.)

If I were interested, I'd ask the seller if she/he has more detailed pictures, 
particularly of the billets and the underside of the saddle, to help judge 
wear.  I'd also 
ask for a picture clearly showing the Torsion label, to be sure it's not one of 
the cheap 
imitations on the market now.  If it's real, and not too worn, this might be a 
good deal.
