Perhaps you have your eye on mine?! ;)

But yes you can if it fits correctly! I hunted in my barefoot which is now for sale as my fab boyf has bought me a solutions treeless for xmas :D

I went on a OJD though as it was my mares first time so i don't know about jumping big hedges in a barefoot, do in solutions though.

Yup. I hunt in my Solution Saddle, me and my little lad jump all the big hedges too. I just put a hunting breastplate on and we're away. Haven't had any issues with slipping or sliding etc. Nobody has ever guessed it isn't a Traditional Treed saddle either ;)

I don't know whether I'd want to hunt in another make, as they didn't look as secure to me, there must be a reason only Solution Saddles are FEI legal out of the treeless bunch?

I ride in a barefoot, I cant jump in it though well over 1ft 6" I winded my self, and you cant really fold properly over a jump.

If your gonna buy make sure you research the brand first, there are some nasty cheap types out there.
