It was an older model that I tried on my horse when he was a three year old. It was too wide for him, but it felt like home when I sat in it. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to buy it and keep it "just in case" it would fit him someday. So, I've been longing for it for the last 7 years. The saddles I've ridden in since then have been OK, but I've never forgotten the way that saddle felt and I am kicking myself for not finding a way to keep it because I'm sure it would fit Nimo now and it was only $800. Gaaa! I think the ASC just makes great saddles, and I'm hoping that someday soon I can afford to get one. And now that you've mentioned the Solstice, I'm going to add that one to my short list of models to try. I'll definitely let you know if I see one in your size!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080104319886657109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-4652362219839451002013-08-21T13:49:08.771-07:002013-08-21T13:49:08.771-07:00I totally agree on the saddle. I love my Solstice....I totally agree on the saddle. I love my Solstice. Major has a few fit issues with it, so I keep trying other things, but nothing we've both been happy with. Closest in feel is surprisingly a Freeform. I only have the Classic and would like to try the dressage model.<br /><br />I'll keep an eye out for you, saddle shopping is frustrating, even when you know what you want!irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-68302474343333995242013-08-21T13:21:00.723-07:002013-08-21T13:21:00.723-07:00I was wondering how things were going.I was wondering how things were going.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909820322758175716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-62113867983106315782013-08-21T13:18:18.503-07:002013-08-21T13:18:18.503-07:00I am in love with the ASC saddles. I've sat in...I am in love with the ASC saddles. I've sat in a Rubicon in a store, and this past weekend, rode in an ASC Sylvan. SOOOOO comfortable and secure. Sitting in one of those saddles just feels like coming home.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720090581233703530noreply@blogger.com
