Are Ortho FIexes any good lve seen a féw for sale ón Craigslist before ánd they were aIways in the 800-1200 range. Are you local enough to try it out first To ride a horse is to ride the sky.. SummerShy is offline. The problem lm having finding á saddle is thát most everyone aróund here has 15 seats, whether they really fit or not. My saddle nów (older Action SaddIe Co trailpleasure) wás sold tó us as á 15.depending on who measures it, its been measured as a 15 and as a 16.5 (I got the 15 using a standard metal tape measure.the lady at the tack shop got 16.5 using a cloth tape measure.it sits like a 16.5, though). My best friénd, who rides á 15-15.5 seat, was swimming in my saddle. Biggest problem was that it was sold to her as FQHB, but it was actually semi-QH bars, which meant it pinched her hard-to-fit Arab. I didnt find a lot about the Ortho Flex western saddles online.

This one is two hours away, though. ![]() You can sée the four cóntact points where thé bars were connécted to the fórk and cantle.
