Total contact saddles

[dwi]

Browsing treeless saddles tonight, might be buying, not sure yet... I don't have the budget to buy a Heather Moffat which would be my first choice, I'd like something that looks reasonably traditional so that I can still go to RC wearing it and jump up to 3ft 6

I came across the total contact saddle and thought it looked really wierd but it was hard to see as they don't have any good pictures on their website.

Has anyone got any good photos of one or experience of using one?

Gosh that's basically bareback with stirrups

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but if you click on the photos in the galleries most come up bigger...

I have a one of the more traditional looking treeless saddles and really like it but I did go for a model that was built to feel more like a regular saddle. Trying before buying is a real must and I don't think they'd be suitable for insecure riders.
