Does anyone have one and how do you find it??
I currently have a k2GP but have taken to dressage but cant bear to lose it and afford a dressage saddle, seems a good alternative!
 
i have a selecta but only with XC pads which were sewn in by previous owner. I use it for jumping and XC, have to have XC pads anyway due to length of leg as otherwise with stirrups short enough they would be off the knee rolls of the jumping pads!

Have never tried a selecta with dressage pads but I would wonder what they would be like due to the position of the stirrup bar i think it might be a bit too much forward for a true dressage seat! but will let someone who actually has ridden in the dressage flaps to comment.

I have one with the jumping flaps and ordered the dressage ones.
They were a different colour when they arrived (saddle is a deep chesnut colour)which put me off a bit but soon toned down to look really nice even if different!
The flaps are not very straight, my daughter has jumped in my saddle, I would say more like a WH cut.
Mine were ordered from my local saddler and cost £145 for the pair.
I would probably say buy a cheap synthetic for dressage instead, but will take a pic of mine if you like when life here calms down re foal feeding (see posts in lounge why I'm very busy)
 
I have one and event with it. Dressage pads are great and I've never regretted buying it. Mind you, it's another thing to remember when eventing - as well as the change of bit, boots, etc there's also the saddle pads to remember too!
