The only review that counts is what your bottom says after 10 hours. Tip... a good custom shop made saddle has a tree and leather in it that cost about $600 before it's assembled... and if the maker did much carving or stamping the saddle could have 60 hours or more in labor. Most retail saddles are contracted by the piece ( a guy cuts or stamps the parts) and those parts eventually end up assembled into whole saddles and marketed regionally under "brand names".
The ground seat (the hard work part under the fancy stiched seat cover) is the hard part of a saddle to fit... and you don't get much fitting in a mass produced saddle. So... at $500 retail--- your getting a clicker cut, machine stamped saddle that is probably on an injection molded plastic tree... It may fit the horse... it may or may not sore the horse and it may last for years in the tack shed and fall plum apart after the first rain storm or river crossing. Pay for good tack- it's worth it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
