Solutions Saddles?

Similar to Ansur as it is the same person who designed the Ansur then went off on his own. If the quality of finish is similar to the Ansur then it is very expensive for what you get.

My only experience of riding in one has been negative. Tried my old lady in an Ansur some years ago and she stood on her hind legs for the one and only time in her life. Even with the padding she could not take the pressure on her withers. She is now in a WOW saddle and has no problems with that.
Did try a Fhoenix part-treed and she was intolerant of that, albeit less vehement than with the Ansur. Just would not go forward.

Don't know of any people who ride at really top level in one. Highest level I've knowingly seen was Anne Bondi who events/dressages in one and she now works for them.
 
Peter Decosimo designed the Ansur and then sold the company to the people who now own Solutions Saddles (for a while it was called Total Saddle Solutions).

I have one and both me and my horse really like it, but treeless are a bit like marmite, you (and your horse) either love them or hate them. My horse hated WOW and cair, tolerated conventional flocking and loves treeless. I would strongly recommend you try one out (you can hire them by the week) before you decide to buy. You should also try the gulleted and no gullet versions as they make a huge difference to the feel of the saddle.

I don't ride at a top level (compete Med, horse has just started changes) but he is a spooky so and so and I have never felt unsafe in mine. I forget I am riding in a treeless when I ride in it.
 
They are considered to be the top level of treeless saddles.

The Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre uses them on their rehabs.
