Hard vs. Soft Saddles

[Sanhestar]

If getting a rigid saddle, are the common wood cross bucks as good as any? Now wanting to waste money on high tech aluminum and composite if not needed.

the wood saddles are good quality but they have a "final" design. Meaning, if they won't fit your goat for whatever reason, you can't use them. The aluminium saddle from Northwest is adjustable to almost every shape of goat.
