So I'm guessing you're using the saddle with no knee rolls at all?? If so, they really just help keep your leg in position/offer support etc I guess.... Great when your horse decides to have a broncing fit as you actually have something to lock your legs into to stay up there It's personal preference though, some people prefer totally flat saddles, some like HUGE knee blocks - I like something in the middle

im using a hi lite elite gp saddle, without the knee blocks, i find i have more "feel" for her, and i tend to sit straighter! but i didnt know if there'd be any benefit of using them....

I'm someone who likes knee rolls and on the odd occasion I've ridden without them it feels strange. It's what you get used to I guess. For me they do add a bit more of a feeling of security.
