Just wondered what they were like. Looking for a jumping saddle with suede seat and knee rolls - can't seem to find many others. This saddle has CAIR panels - not tried one of those before. Any comments would be useful. Thanks!
 
Has your saddle got CAIR panels? What are they like. I tried a WOW saddle on one of mine once and he hated it and bucked like a rodeo horse!!!

Yes, mine has CAIR, its brilliant, I use this saddle on the youngters coz it moulds to them when its warmed up.
 
Ok, it is a fab saddle, very comfy and I find it flexible because you can move the knee blocks round which is fab. However, my only complaint is unless you are riding very short, it is difficult to maintain a good leg position as it encourages your leg to shoot forwards, fab for XC as lower leg position if fab, but pants for schooling! Also better if you are long from hip to knee (which Im not!) G seems to go well in it, although I am still a bit iffy about the Cair as as my physio says, compressed air is harder than compressed wool. If I could have it reflocked in wool I would, but G doesnt suffer because of it, so not a major complaint!!
