Hell, if I paid that much for a saddle for a boy and he complained, I
think I would cut his testicles off!

I knew a lady whose teen son showed AQHA western pleasure.  She paid
3,000 for one of those dripping in silver show saddles.  Then she
started muttering about how awful it was and I wriggled out of her the
problem... it had an "equitation" seat, was a western saddle, circle Y
I think with an "equitation" seat and she said it had such a steep
ride in the fron that it made his testicles hurt after riding it even
the briefest time in the show ring.

Interesting article.

My grandson has an older Passier dressage saddle he just loves to trail ride 
in.   We all thought he was doing a teenage "thing" in his insistance that 
the saddle is  extremely comfortablebecause when I tried it I found it to be 
absolutely the most uncomfortable saddle I ever sat in.

I mentioned this particular saddle to Kaaren Jordan who said "That saddle 
was designed by a man for men."
