The package felt so light that I thought it was something else. This makes this saddle easy to handle for everyone, old and young. Obviously it’s going to be so easy to wipe clean which has to be a plus. I’ve had it on our 12.2hh POA only twice because of having to order the correct size girth and Webber’s and it sits nice and level on his back. One rider is a very slim, an11 year old girl and it will just about enable her to ride until I can order something bigger, but the other rider is only 8, so we should get a few years use out of it for her.
