What's your reasoning on this... Any experience of these saddles or just a judgement based without fact? Genuinely interested?

Have repeatedly messaged this company on ebay about their leather version of this saddle, they claim it is German but when asked directly if it is manufactured in Germany they will not reply, seems fishy to me. Leather one is apparently made by a company called moneypony, but I cannot find any useful info about them, I would assume synthetic is by the same company.
All seems a bit too good to be true re pricing as well, I would avoid personally, but have never actually seen the saddles so maybe am being a bit over cautious.

You can't make a decent saddle for that price and there have been loads of issues with these trees that flex this way at the front.

"German beauty" rings a bell. I'm sure someone on here bought one and then took it apart to find out what was inside. May come up with a search.

IIRC it was Wagtail and the saddle was awful, so she sent it back and had a whole load of hassle. She put the thread up to warn others that it really was too good to be true.

I have the synthetic flexi for hacking and i like it, horse seems to and jumps nicely in it too. I use bareback saddle normally but prefer more security on fast hacks.

Funnily enough I came across this saddle the other day whilst browsing for something else.
Warning bells began to ring........ they're too cheap basically, if such a thing is possible For a decent saddle, made properly, I'd expect to pay more than that, and that's not being extravagent its just common sense.
Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

The most annoying thing was ebay. The seller had my negative feedback removed immediately with no explanation. Not only is the saddle rubbish and actually dangerous, it seems ebay do everything to prevent us being able to give negative feedback. I guess they make ebay a lot of money.

Be warned that if you do have any problems with this company that the owner of it doesn't really 'do' customer service...
