Yeah, They cost about as much as my horse when I bought mine 12 years ago, now they're just outta sight. The thing about them is that they're supposed to fit ANY horse and never create a pressure point. There's another company called Timberline Saddles that makes saddles pretty much just like them. In fact, they have the original Ortho Flex saddle makers. The original owner got divorced and lost the company and there was a falling out with the new owner and the employees, so they left and started a new company. The patent on the saddle design had expired so they could pretty much make the same saddle. If I was to buy a new one, I'd get a Timberline. They're cheaper, but not cheap by any means. This is their model that's like mine...

I just went out to try to take a picture of all three horses laying down in the red grass in the sun, but I disturbed 'em. and they all popped up. I feel bad now ;~D
They always lay down about this time in the morning if they've been outside all night. That's why I like to put them in the night before a ride. I hate to take them out for a trail ride right about the time they'd like a nap. If they're in, they lay down and sleep at night. The time Bay tripped and fell down on trail, he'd been out all night the night before, and he was napping on his feet at the rest stop so much that we'd joked about us disturbing his rest. I think it was a real issue!
