Never heard of them, just wondering does it stand for something?

It is a German make of leather tree saddles. I really appreciated you attempt to help in my previous thread and had a long chat with Georgina but I am getting so frustrated about not having found a saddle yet that I am exploring all possibilities. I have joined umpteen FB used saddles sites, emailed a number of large second-hand websites and saddlers. No luck. According to Georgina everybody has been buying ponies and snapping up pony sized used saddles and there is a shortage of them. I do not particularly want to pay full price for a new treed saddle when the pony has done no work yet and may change shape a lot once we start, so looked at the alternatives. Most treeless saddles are built on long bases which will swamp the pony, apart from the Heather Moffett ones and the HT and Edix ones. If I am going to up my budget for a saddle, it is going to have to be beautiful, adaptable, comfortable and last us as long as I can ride. I rather fancy this one https://en.ht-sattel.com/willow or this one https://en.ht-sattel.com/nyssa. They will make the saddle you want with as short a base as you need. I have ordered a Heather Moffett one but am prepared for it not to suit us so still looking at othe options. (I have tried a Solution but the pony was not keen on it).
My worry about these saddles is that I do not read German and cannot find any feedback about them.

Maybe talk to Franziska at riding in balance .. she is UK fitter for HT .. she fitted my simialar leather treed Hidalgo. She is German but based in Edinburgh and speaks English so could probably answer questions and give you the low down on importing post Brexit.
