Their price was so low I wondered if they would want to ship or go through any kind of fitting thing. <br /><br />This makes me wonder if you found that deal yourself! :)<br /><br />Hope it all works out. One of our saddle fitters recommended this saddle for Salina when I was still riding her. She is wide but has a slight dip and something about these panels was supposed to fit that build well.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-50728781670988971982012-02-23T20:53:15.903-05:002012-02-23T20:53:15.903-05:00Melissa-
