Need a new saddle for my horse but as she's changing shape a lot I'm looking into a treeless so what's your opinion on this one? Or any other treeless suggestions? Must be suitable for a highish withered tb. Thank you

We have 2 on order and 2 in the tack room :D
In the tack room we have a vogue dressage and a phoenix gp but have a dressage and another gp flexEE on order. They are fab fab fab saddles and they are used currently on two thoroughbreds (both ex racers) one has high ish withers and the other has VERY high/steep withers and they suit them great.
If you get in touch with your local ee instructor they will fit one for you and let you have a play in it to see what it feels like, but just a warning.... You wont want to get back out :eek:

Thank you that sounds great, do you feel that the horses move better in them?
 
It's on my wish list! Guys just wondered how much you've paid n all. I know the saddle itself is here hundred and fifty quid but hat did you pay for a fitting etc. just wondering how much I'd need to save.

Deffinately! you can feel their movement better and they can listen to your seat more clearly but i know that both of the horses currently in them move sooo much better in them and are free'er and more comfortable.
the mare for example could not be ridden during her seasons as she was not comfortable through her back, not she never misses a day! :D

im fairly sure we didnt pay for a fitting bt if you speak to your local ee fitter they will advise you annd put you on the right track :)
 
I wouldn't be getting a saddle until next year so back log should be corrected by then! Just so difficult to choose with so many different saddles out there! I think C would go better treeless though so am exploring all options :)
 
Yep ride in a vogue - and my spoilt derriere wont ride in anything else now ;)

Put it from my barrel of a friesian to my QH cross with no issues at all :D
 
I ride in a vogue but I was at heathers when the new adjusted version of the flexee arrived and I have to say it was lovely.
Very comfortable and I saw it used on quite a few horses, they all seemed to go well in it and all the riders liked it to.
 
Is this the one that looks like a treed saddle? I was curious as I just can't stand the look of treeless and would like something traditional, I do like the sound of these saddles but are they secure like a treed saddle and can you jump etc?

Sounds promising! :)

The flexee is different to the Fhoenix, it feels much narrower and the seat is much more comfortable.

would the flexee be suitable for a tb? her withers are quite high however she is lacking topline atm, once her topline is built up her wither is probably pretty medium sized for a thorougbred.
 
Oooooh I'm interested in this too! My mum's horse is a 16hh TBx with high, atrophied withers. Was recommended to try a Heather Moffett saddle by her chiropractor. OP - let us know if you get one of Heather's saddles, I'd love to know how you get on. :)

Yes will be getting out a fitter when the time comes, getting excited to try one now! :)
 
I have a vogue dressage, borrowed one to try last christmas, Dan liked it & I liked it so bought one second hand :DWe've done dressage in it, WH, jumping, XC, hacking... all sorts. Sat in the FlexEE GP at YHL, so comfy :D Hoping to try one in the new year and see if it'll be any better for jumping in than the dressage saddle (which isn't bad, I just generally like somewhere to put my knees, and can't afford the vogue GPT as well!).
 
ImmyS - you've given me the kick up the a*se that I needed! Have just emailed my local EE instructor and EE themselves to see what they suggest and to hopefully arrange a fitting. Eeeeeee exciting!! :D Hope you get something sorted soon.

Sounds good, I would also be hoping to a little jumping, the knee rolls on the flexEE do look pretty generous :)
