Shires Hi Lite synthetic saddle

[suestowford]

Has anyone here got one of these? Know anyone who has one?
I would be very interested to hear your opinions of this saddle, and if anyone does have one, could I be really cheeky and ask to you post a pic of the underneath so I can see how flat or curved the panels are?
Thanks!

Thank you Shysmum, I will steer clear!

No problems. Could you try a secondhand Thorowgood instead ?

When I bought my haflinger he was being ridden in one of these. Now he has white hairs in his winter coat where it damaged him

I might look for a Thorowgood, I used to have a Griffin and that was a lovely saddle.
On the basic principle that you get what you pay for, I was a bit suspicious about the cheapness of the Shires.
