We're thinking about getting into CTR, so I'm going to be in trouble. My saddle is leather, my headstall is leather. But that's because I couldn't find a synthetic saddle that I liked and I don't like the "feel" of most synthetics used for headstalls. Biothane, nylon, etc, all feel icky to my hands.

Oh well, I'm not a competitive sort...I do what I do to gain knowledge, experience, and to have fun.
