Good luck. You seldom see these for sale. I sold one of the two that
I own a couple of years ago. It was for sale for maybe 8 seconds.
The other one isn't for sale.

Even if you find one, no one who actually knows what he has is
going to make you any kind of a deal on it. Just buy a new
one. If Fallis Saddlery, see any Western Horseman for an ad, isn't
still making them call...

1-800-555-1862 Yeah that's a real live 555 number that works...

He'll make you one.

No matter what, do get one. Once you do you'll never want to slide
your butt into anything else.

Vic Bennett Saddlery in Sherwood Park, Alberta(east of Edmonton) has the
exclusive rights to make Foreman's balanced rides in Canada. They're
called the 'Pat Wyse Balanced Ride' saddle. Pat is from Conrad, Montana
and is a former student of Foreman who has been teaching his techniques
for over 30 years. He has a book published with foreman's blessing &
input.(can't recall the name but it has a picture of Foreman on the
cover sliding a horse.)

There are many copies of the balanced ride saddle that duplicate the
rigging and the way the stirrups adjust but the key is the tree design
which Foreman patented and Fallis & Vic Bennet are the only ones with
the rights to use them. There made somewhere in the S.E. USA.

Vic Bennett's number is (403)922-3272
Pat Wyse's number is (406)278-3343

I've got 2 balanced ride cutters that Vic made(bought the 1st one in
1982) and I wouldn't ride anything else!!

Vic's made balanced ride reiners and roping saddles as well that are
used by some top competitors.

I'd call Vic & Pat. If they don't have a used one, they may know who
has.
