I've got a Bates Innova with Cair, my mare seems as comfy in it as she is in her GP which is flocked.

Brilliant stuff 
I have a dressage saddle fitted with cair and have had absolutely no problems.

I've got one - one of the new dressage ones. It's the only thing I could find to fit my razor withered TB. The new ones also have inserts which can be put in to perfect the fit. Personally if I could have found a nice English flocked one which would have fit as well, I probably would have gone with that, but this was the best one and I've no complaints so far.

Ive got a GP and a dressage one, I really like mine, horse goes nice in it, quite easy to change the gullet, which has been handy, Im after another one now (GP one) for my other horse, but got to sell the dressage one first :-/

they don't fit all horses, if you have a flat backed cob sort step well back - the falicy that they fit all horses is shocking because they just don't. I have a horse who's back was damaged with one, they are suitable for warm blood horse shaped horses

Actually that's a good point. Mine fits the TB perfectly but when I tried a Wintec (same thing but synthetic) on the native, it was completely hopeless. Just sort of perched on top of her!
