treeless try

Di brought over the Barefoot Lexington saddle that she is trialling and Moo was our model. I was quite pleased with the feel and once we got the knee rolls in place it was actually quite comfy in rising trot and very promising in sitting trot. Moo moved really well in it and apart from finding it hard to get my lower leg on (I had the same problems with Claire's 'Heather Moffett' part-treed saddle) I found aiding really worked well; I think if we moved the stirrup bars back by a couple of cms then that may be a help but to be fair Moo is pretty wide.Thanks Di!!

Sounds like treeless saddles have come a long way since they were first introduced.

Hi Rising Rainbow, indeed they have; so useful for those of us unable to have a saddler bring out a selection of different treed models to see what fits. Just need to raise the cash now!
