I started mine in a Smart Saddle as he was a difficult shape to fit. It was not a success! Once I had changed to a Torsion, we made good...

I tried to sell a barely used AH 16.5 saddle, almost new, at half price. No takers. It might fit my youngster so I'll keep it now and...

I’m 5ft8 and ride a 13.3. I’ve lost a bit of weight recently and I don’t care if I look too big/tall - she carries me easily. Takes up...
