In fairness, my comments were nothing to do with the fact that she had thrown her toys out of the pram on this forum.
My comments were due to the fact that I actually owned a Vogue saddle and at £1300 I expected it to be as good if not better than the Freeforms, Barefoot etc. treeless saddle. If there were problems with weight distribution on the Vogue which is meant to be the top of the range, I would fully expect the same problems, if not more, on the budget range Flexee.
Unfortunately, and I am not a great big fat heavy rider, the saddle caused my horse to get raised lumps under the stirrup bars.
If the saddles are only suitable for dressage, then I really think it would be much better to say that - my horse is a grey so whether or not he would have had white hair growing through I can't say.
All I can say is that it didn't suit us, and I would certainly not recommend them for anyone who wants to do more than dressage in them.
