I bought an Ansur Classic treeless saddle in January that I blogged about HERE. I wanted to do an update after owning the saddle, showing, and riding in it extensively. Basically, I love it. Really, really love it. Comfortable, no back issues for either horse or rider, and things that I thought might be an issue like mounting from the ground or saddle slippage have not been a problem at all. In fact, during Jet's recent abscess layup, I rode my daughter's smaller pony in a treed saddle and spent a good part of the rides wishing the Ansur was small enough to fit said pony. I really noticed that the treed saddle jarred my back quite a bit more. I just don't have anything negative to say about the Ansur. I continue to feel a much closer contact with Jet's back, really balanced, and like my leg goes in just the right place. The quality of the saddle is excellent. A couple of things I have noticed that surprised me are that the saddle is maybe a little heavier than I expected, and that I think Jet maybe sweats a little more under the saddle than with my previous Marcus Krehan. Neither is a big deal and we give the Ansur Classic a big thumbs up!
