| I love mine!!!!!!!!!!!
Fits a variety of horses, love the double rigging for stirrups. I prefer the 5" cantle over the 4". After I bought one, I would say 10-15 friends now have them. |

Its an ultraflex... just wanted to clarify that because a lot of flex trees dont move like the DS does. |

What exactly does ultraflex mean? I've looked on the website but can't really find a good explanation |

I spoke to Deb Sibley herself before I bought mine. Basically she stated its a tree made of the most flexible material they could develop. I am sure she has the actual materials but my saddle basically flexes in half when I am carrying it. Slightly irritating when you're trying to throw it on the top shelf in the trailer lol

How old is your saddle to be doing this? I have an older one and it dont do that at all. |

Mine did it right out of the gate for the most part... I have the 4" cantle and my saddle is a bit longer than I prefer. So i dont know if that has something to do with it. Its not as bad as a bob marshall but if you are tossing it up high it will bend. |

Location: Illinois | I am going to drag this back out of the grave.. does the 5" cantle make the seat seem smaller? Like if I usually ride in a 14.5 with the 4" cantle should I get a 15 in the 5"? Also does anyone know the measurments of the QH and Full QH bars?

Location: USA | Yes the 5" makes it smaller. Per Jimmy at Panther Canyon, 6 1/2" semi QH, 6 3/4" QH, and 7" for full QH bars. |

Yes the 5 inch cantle will make a tighter seat, I would go up 1/2 if you order a 5 inch. |
