It's the one with the foam seat. They used it once, they said. They're charging $500. I guess it's a good deal? But ye gods this crap is expensive. Still, it fits my horse, which is a minor miracle. I was amazed, if the gullet had been any lower it really wouldn't have, and it couldn't have been narrower either. My horse is a double-wide shark. Heh.
Something I do need to consider though, before I go over and make the purchase tomorrow, is the stirrups.

And here are the fenders it uses, I do believe:

As it is on the saddle right now, my feet don't reach it. Big surprise. I was so happy about it fitting my horse comfortably that I just ignored the stirrups and rode around without them. I know, I know, I'm a freak and I prefer not using stirrups. But I really ought to get a saddle that my legs can reach the stirrups on. The good news is that it looks like they are detachable, if what I am seeing on the page is right, so if somehow it can't be made to reach at all, well, hell, I can take them off and maybe find a way to put on the silly little endurance saddle stirrups. Maybe. We'll see. I'm taking imaginethewolf along with me tomorrow. She'll take a look too, be my voice of reason since I clearly do not have one myself, and then we can play with Solly. :)
