Hi, I bought a used Devoucoux biarrtiz stamped 91 (so presumably from 1991). My mare seems to like it and it is very comfy. It had some wrinkles on the seat which worried me and I had it taken apart at the addler to check the tree. He said tree was intact but that it was unbelievable flexible. Is this normal for an older Devoucoux? He said he wouldn't put a 100 kilo man i it but that a 50 kilo woman (such as myself) would be no problem. advice?
