Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	I'm not entirely sold that they're any better for the horse than a regular tree'd saddle. I had a Marlene Mcrae that I liked but I mean, you still had to fit the horse. You couldn't just throw it on anybody and expect it to flex to their shape. Then if it's too flexible it won't protect the horse's back enough so it's a double edged sword. No one saddle is going to fit every horse, including flex trees, but you may be able to find a flex tree that fits your horse that works for you.

Texas Lone Star Posts: 5318 Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked	I had a BM years ago that I really like and it fit 2 different horses. I bought a Circle Y JBN barrel saddle when they came out and it was the only saddle that fit my barrel mare after trying several high end saddle that either rolled or slid back even with a breast collar. I loved that JBN and would still have it if it would have been a trail instead. I sold the JBN barrel when I sold the horse.
