IMO like sitting on a sofa cushion - look and feel hideous.

treeless saddles feel very different to ride in to begin with, your legs feel like they are being pulled back! once you get used to them they are comfrtable but i find that they make my backache if i ride in one for more than 2 hours! they are very light and horses seem to go well in them. the accesories are expensive tho because you must have the special equitex saddle pad which costs £80! and you need special stirrups as there is no safety release at the top of the saddle! so stirrups such as the barnes buckle or toe hoods. you also need a dressage girth. the saddles also tend to slip more than normal saddles.
i think you should borrow one from your saddlers and definately try one before you buy one!
