Just wondering. I have heard some people say they are great and some say they are horible. I would like to just see everyones personal opinion.

I've used one once, quite a few years back. I didn't tack the horse up, so I couldn't realize why the saddle felt so funny. I was like "...what the hecks wrong with this thing?!" Don't get me wrong, I liked the saddle, it just felt funny. By the time I was done on the horse (it was acting like a jerk for the owner or something, I don't remember) I was quite fond of the saddle. I asked about it and was told "it was a TREELESSSSS variety!!!221~!!!!" Wish I'd asked more questions, as all the treeless ones I've seen now are butt ugly. This one actually looked like a real saddle, to the point I didn't notice it wasn't one. Just looked like a regular dressage saddle, but a bit chunkier.

I've ridden in my friend's western treeless several times. It's pretty comfy, but basically no support. She hates it, thinks it feels like sitting in a hole. And it's reallllllllyyyyyy long, and somewhat awkward. also whenI carry it is folds in half o.O but it's pretty nice.

It's Tasha. or Tash. Or Penguin xD

I have one and I think it gives me more contact with Prancer.
