Actually I am a dealer for Cashel and we've been selling the Cashel
SoftSaddle for about 4 years now and have sold quite a few. I have tried
them on many different horse conformations and since they conform to the
horse (and rider) they fit pretty well. They will slip on those round, no
withered horses easily though, so I always recommend using the SoftSaddle
Pad with them. They give you a little more support than a bareback pad but
if asked if they are more like a saddle or a bareback pad - I would
definitely say they are more like a bareback pad. You can feel your horse
very well underneath you. For the rider, they are very comfortable also.
They provide just a little more support and formed seat than a bareback pad.
Yes, you can take the stirrups off of these or use a pair of English
stirrups, which a lot of my customers do.
If a person is enjoying riding bareback I would think they would like the
SoftSaddle also. It's the people who think that they will feel like a
saddle that tend not to be happy with them. I used to use one all of the
time on my arab but since I've lost him and am riding a younger guy (my
Haflinger) I don't feel as secure and have went back to a rigid tree saddle.
My best girlfriend however, uses hers to trail ride, endurance riding & even
jumps with hers. It's definitely a personal like or dislike.

I know nothing about these saddles, do they fit all horses? I've just
started riding a little bareback, and someone suggested that a bareback pad
would be a good investment. If you take the stirrups off of the Cashel, is
it like a bareback pad...LOL can you post to Canada?
