- Sharon,
-
- I know very little about western saddles in general, but I have ridden in
- two that really impressed me. One was a Carroll (sp?) and the other was
- a Falis (sp? word sounds like Phallus). Both are built for a balanced
- seat and so ride like dressage saddles.
-
- The man who owns these saddles has worked on a ranch for 35+ years and
- spends 6+ hours a day on a horse working stock and riding trails.
-
- I'd be interested to know if anyone else has heard of these saddles and
- what they think of them.
