Frank Baines - Reflex or Elegance?

[Vixxy]

Any Frank Baines fans here...

I am going to take the plunge and buy one after nights of research.... before you 'suggest' I live in Norway, no saddle fitter within a 10 hour drive and that one only sells a make that he gets most profit on... so I cannot try one

What are the best points on each saddle : Reflex/Elegance

Which helps to maintain a position best?
Most comfortable?
Most suited to a warmblood type? (high wither, short flat back)

Any help choosing greatly appreciated as I have never sat in one

Thanks in advance!

Karen

if i was you i would take a model of the wither so you can get the right size and shape. does your horse have big shoulders? big long wither etc. is there any asymmetry etc you could take photos above and from the side. then you could send the pictures to frank baines and see which one they might recommend i have not sat on any so i can't comment on comfort

Elegance most definately!!! it is a beautiful saddle to look at and ride in, My horse is WB xID so big and chunky with large shoulders but not very prominent withers and fits brilliantly.
