I bought this saddle after trying my instructor's County Fusion. I knew I needed to upgrade my saddle, and did not have an affordable local saddle fitter to assist me with finding the perfect fit. I trialed several other saddles from ebay & various tack sites, but none of them were quite right. My instructor has both a County Perfection and a County Fusion, so I decided to give her Countys a try. I tried the Perfection first. It fit my horse well, but did not fit me as a rider at any gait other than the canter (at the canter it really was perfect though!). I then tried her Fusion and fell in love! After knowing which saddle I needed and what size, I quickly found this saddle on ebay and sent in an offer. It is a wonderful saddle and I have no regrets in purchasing it!
