Can anyone suggest a good western saddle….Please?
I am looking into buying a western saddle. I usually ride English so I am a little lost on the western. I did some research and am planing on buying a SMx Air Ride saddle pad and so now all I need is a good saddle. We will just be using it for trail rides so I do not need anything really fancy. I do, however, need it to be comfortable for me and the horse. I would like to pay somewhere between $500 and $1200 I was thinking about something with a flexible tree? I was told somewhere that these kind make better saddles? Suggestions, experiences, comfort level (for horse and rider), and prices would be very much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

I don’t care for the Billy Cooks saddles, not comfortable to me & I am a trail rider.
