Anyone heard of the treeless solution pro jump saddle? Literally just read the whole of the website and I'm quite interested in them! Eventing at 100 aiming for 1* and ride in a childeric but it restricts my horse because of the bigger flaps and not keen on Devoucoux or childeric or Butet too much because they all seem the same! Anyone tried one?
Thanks! :)
 
Not the jump saddle but we have 2 Solution saddles, between 4 horses and love them. The first time I tried my mare in one, her shoulders were freed up, she went so much better, more forward going - I could feel the happy vibes coming off her! Considering that we have been through 4 saddles in 5 yrs, all of which 'would do' but weren't perfect, that was quite something.
 
I have just purchase a smart pro, love it though haven't jumped in it yet as bringing back into work. Feel free to pm me if you want to ask any question, but if you contact them they are helpful and provide good responses.
 
I ride in them and I love them. I've not ridden in the one you mention but have in a VSD, dressage and original GP.
They really hold their value too so are a worthwhile investment. My instructor is a registered fitter if you're in the Cheshire area. If you get in touch with your local fitter (should be able to get the details via their website - or join 'unofficial solution saddles' on Facebook (it's a group) and ask there) as they can organise a demo for you.
Can't fault them!
 
I haven't tried the jump saddle, but I have a Smart dressage. I love their saddles, really well thought out designs from a knowledgable company. My new horse likes it too.
 
I have a smart sport v2 dressage saddle which I love. I love it so much that I bought a jump saddle too but it is a much older model and needs external shims so would not be a fair comparison to the one you are looking at. I would love a newer one but the budget won't stretch!

It is well worth having a fitting and seeing what you think
 
Wow! You hardly need any more encouragement from happy customers to give you confidence - but I can't help adding my praise to the stack...
All my horses are now problem - free after switching 100% to SMART saddles. I have recently upgraded to the Jump Pro and find it very easy to fit and balance. You don't notice it at all when you are riding, which is probably the best endorsement that you could give any saddle. My husband now has a Pro for his eventer and they are both much more confident over fences in it.
 
My partner has a jumping one (not sure on model) and he loves it. Says its the best jumping saddle hes ever had. We also have a dressage, he loves that as well, but i cant stand it. So each to their own.
 
I've been riding in Solution Saddles for the past 9 years and love them, so does my sensitive event mare. I had a test ride in the Pro range to compare and ended up putting in an order for a jump and dressage for my youngster. I found the Pro range very supportive and the developments they have made to the range are evident when compared to previous versions. That said, I still love my original Solution jump saddle.

Fantastic saddles!

I have recommended them to friends and most of them have bought saddles after their test ride.
 
Echo all the positives above :) You can also trial them, if you like to see if they are suitable for you and your horse. The customer service is brilliant and the fitter we had was knowledgable and personable. I would recomend the company any time and love the event and the native we have :)
