No problem! Like I said, I really like synthetic, and I hate to admit it, but I do ride in shorts from time to time and leather against sweaty skin hurts really bad! There are a lot of horse people out there that hate synthetics. They are cheap saddles, I'll give them that, but I don't keep saddles for years and years, I change them out all the time. I have a few right now that I ride every now and again just because they are fun to ride in.

I just picked up this plantation saddle at our local horse auction for $20 which is a fraction of what it's worth. It's an amazing saddle.
