Greg Pryor and SQR Qamaar rode all 1470 miles of the 2005 AERC ride season with the Synergist Saddle. Greg has been using the Synergist Saddle exclusively over the horse's career. Cyndee Pryor, Greg's wife, uses the same saddle, and their third backup saddle is a Synergist as well.

Greg's horse has always been difficult to fit and with 270 pounds on SQR Qamaar's back, it's extremely important to have a good fit. Qamaar's back tends to be hollow behind the withers so we use a thick sheepskin next to his skin with a saddle blanket over that. Greg's horse stays sound, and is always eager for the next mile down the trail.
