Finally got to field test my new saddle. Never thought I'd go for a synthetic saddle as I've never cared much for their looks and I'm pretty old school, but, old age and injuries are catching up with me and tossing my heavy western saddles up onto tall horses was taking a toll, so I revisited the synthetics. This is an Abetta Brushpopper. So far, so good but I won't know for sure until I ride in it all day. I love my Amish EZ Fit saddle and it's super lightweight but, that, being treeless leans slightly left due to my imbalance in weight due to my thigh bag I carry. That little bit of lopsided weight was enough to throw off the balance of that tree less saddle. That EZ Fit is the most comfortable saddle for me.
