Does anyone have a reactor pannel saddle?

I have 2.
VSD Baker trail. Very comfortable. Very versatile.
Lucinda McAlpine Dressage. Best saddle I have ever owned!

My horse has never been ridden in anything else and I would prefer not to ride in anything else,both for my comfort and the horse's comfort.
 
i am very lucky to live down the road (2 miles ;-) ) from the only trained fitters and ditributors in the Uk (from what i can see) but im not sure they will take my 3 year old GFS saddle in part exchange, i cannot afford to pay for one outright!

Seems weird, they have a list of saddle fitters on their website and there are several in the UK:

when i went on reactor panels website and looked at distributors in england in only came up with one.
 
I know one of the partners who is one of the trained fitters, they are a fantastic product, I looked into getting one a while back although ebs went better in a comfort saddle, that being said, she is just odd! I have seen a number of horses go fantastically well in these, it gives them much more freedom. Im not normally one for gimmicky things but I liked them. If you want any info give Gini a ring, she is really friendly and helpful

I recommend you speak to the owner of the company in the US as I am uncertain of the status of Saddle Exchange as the distributor of the saddles in the UK. I have reason to say this, I used to work for them but left last year and am still in touch with the US owner.

The saddles are amazing, I have had one (Lacrosse Dressage) for about 8 years, and it has been on more horses, of different shapes, than you can imagine. I still fit and adjust them, and am happy to help people find the right one second hand, ie advise on what model and condition etc to look for.

It was owning this saddle that eventually led to me becoming a saddle fitter!

Please pm me if you'd like more info.
 
I had a Reactor Panel GP for years and really regreted selling it. I had no end of trouble trying to get a saddle to fit my new horse, so I recently bit the bullet and went back to a RP (Sumit) and it is amazing. Horse is very happy and I no longer have a back that's in agony each time I ride! Yeay!
 
Thought I just ought to say that you will find a fair bit of discussion on the saddles on here and other forums but it is ReactorPanel with one N, though it is often spelt with two words, so try searching on it as one word and as two :)
