I am now a proud owner of a jump Prestige X breath mono - the matching dressage saddle is a helen or Venus but looking at them the blocks are far bigger than I like. Does anyone know what the forerunners are of these so will be near identical tree? I find older saddles tend not to be so block big.

It’s worth a sit in it if you can - the x breath jump I really liked but couldn’t stand the dressage.

I had the Helen x k on fig which I loved but never tried the jump.

I need an 18 inch seat which seems to be a huge struggle anyway! Now looking at Devoucoux makila as seems to be a similar tree

I like riding in my Makila - the blocks aren't offensively large and the seat isn't excessively deep. I feel supported enough in it without feeling wedged. And lets me ride either quite long or quite short depending on which horse I'm on. Helpful as a tall person on not especially bulky horses.

I am 5’9 on a midget so sounds good plus they come in around £800 which is more the kind of money I want to spend. I tried an English tree on him and it was hilarious how it fitted.
