With a GP saddle? I'm in love with the Turquoise Mint close contact square but only have a GP saddle, I was wondering if it would be too forward cut? My girl has a wide barrel and I find normal squares rub a little on the bottom curved bit, so the close contact seems like a good shape as its a bit shorter.

Feel free to post pics of your lovely coloured LeMieux! 😀

i dont thinks so but remember the loops are different and just go over the top through the D’s. Does this not come in the GP style?

They aren't really shorter at the bottom. Compared to griffin nuumed and Anky they are longer. I use it with my solution saddle which is the eventer. I really like Le mieux for quality and fit. They have fitted well on all my saddles.

Same saddle with:

Griffin nuumed GP cut:

ideal vsd It does fit slightly shorter than my lemieux GP dead sheep numnah, but a bit longer than my ecogold xc cut. There is a bit much at the front but it is doable as they don't do this air mesh one in a GP cut.
