I was interested enough in the treeless saddles by all who have said they were great that I bought one myself! I bought the Barefoot Sierra (it arrived yesterday) and the Skito saddle pad to match. The saddle pad is not due to arrive for another week but I only have a week to try the saddle before I have to send it back (if I don't like it) for a refund of my money.
I'm having a blonde moment and am not sure how the saddle is supposed to "look" on the horse.
My question is: do you need the Skito saddle pad to really see how the saddle should fit or can I improvise with another pad and still get similar results (e.g., to know if it fits me and my horse)? Do these treeless saddles and pads work as a system? Are the saddle pads made to fill in the gaps on the treeless saddle that you wouldn't otherwise have on a treed saddle?
I emailed the place I bought everything from requesting an extension on the returns policy, but am having to think about Plan B as well.
