Treeless saddle that looks like a "normal" saddle?!

[smellsofhorse]

Any suggestions for decent treeless saddles that look like "normal" saddles?

I'd like the different dressage and jumping options too.

Not quite treeless, but how about the Heather Moffet Flexee? Has a flexible leather tree so a good compromise if you want a traditional looking saddle. I've got the synthetic dressage and I love it, so does my horse. Would love the leather version of the dressage and a GP version, but can't afford either at the moment, maybe one day!

Have you looked at Solution Saddles? Completely treeless with no rigid parts, great network of advisers, helpful office staff, good website and they also do payment plans. I've got both the dressage and jumping models and I couldn't be happier with them. They're pricey but in my opinion they're well worth the money.

No idea if these are any good, just look "normal" from the pics.

have a look at the Trekker Bascule or the Inspiration, i have the Luxus which is amazing. www.trekkersaddles.co.uk.
Louise is also the distributor for Ghost and Libra and really helpful.

The Solution smart range every time!

Thank you everyone.
I will take a look at ether suggestions.

Heather Moffett overtime - the vogues are my favourite for the horse and rider comfort but the finesse possibly looks more 'normal'

Another recommendation for solutions

and another for Heather Moffett. I have a pheonix dressage and both of us love it, no-one ever notices its not "normal" unless they sit on it. Not sure about jumping options though, there is a GP.

Solution saddle, I love mine

Would also recommend this option... I wouldn't call it a "compromise" either - it's generally a better option than either a fixed tree or a treeless to go for a flexible tree...

Thorn saddles seem popular

I have a HM FlexEE. Currently leather version but I used to have a synthetic (I upgraded). Other saddles just feel so wrong and unpadded now... Have sat in a Vogue as well (on a simulator) and it was lush but well well out of my price range sadly. I know a few people with Solutions who are chuffed to bits with that make as well

Thorn saddles seem popular

Yep. I ride using a Thorn Pad. I bought the 'extra thick knee rolls' deluxe version and it's very secure. They're popular for pony club and dressage/ring legal. Very popular for showing, too. I combine it with a Heather Moffat hipsaver and use either an Acavallo non slip saddle cloth or prolite pad with standard numnah, dependant on which pony is going out!

I have a solution, dressage and jump, both look normal, are very comfy and do the job. Highly recommend them and their advisors.

I'm hoping to get a thorn saddle for my daughter's pony, they're very well priced too which helps

For me it's the HM every time. Much cheaper then the solution saddles, widely available second hand and amazing to ride in. Rides like a treed saddle, now would not bother with anything else.
