freeform treeless saddles - what do you think???

[wizgirl]

Anyone got one and can you comment on whether you love or loath it??

Thanks. Thinking of getting one, already have a cheaper treeless, which is great, but would now like to upgrade, is it worth it??? or shpuld i keep my cash for something else

I had one and it was wonderful for my otherwise impossible to fit cob mare. It was excellent for flat work and hacking but I still used my torsion for jumping and fast work as it gave me a more secure forward position.

But, I still went back to a treed saddle when I got the new horse as I had had some problems with the fitting of both saddles at some point. I definitely wouldn't buy without trying one first as the shape of the saddle won't suit all - horse or rider.

There is another make on sale in one of the major mail order catalogues which looks exactly the same but its half the price.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know what the cheaper one you mention is called?
