I wanted to know if anyone rides a saddle like this and what your opinions are of this style saddle.
I have ridden the traditional western roping saddle my whole life and just recently started riding a trooper style in trials. I like the comfort of the trooper and the lack of horn, as well as the weight however I am a bigger guy (some say fat) and am looking for a little more support while keeping the comfort and weight for long days.
Any opinion?
Saddle??

Re: Saddle??
I know at least one well known pro that is using an endurance saddle for the all day comfort. At a trial, he is in just about every open brace, so that makes for some loooong days in the saddle. He is fairly tall and in the 200# range as far as weight is concerned.
He traded in his trooper for the endurance saddle. Dunno which one, I think it was a Tucker, but whatever one fits both you and the horse would be the right choice.
