I'm lucky enough to have been offered one to try on my lot so I'll update once I have it and have tried it a few times. I'm hoping it might give me an English style saddle for Rose and it will be interesting to see if any of the others prefer it.

Thanks Heather, I would appreciate feedback when you've had the chance to try. I'm hoping to have a look at one at Your Horse Live in a few weeks and see if they've got any fitters close enough to me so I can trial one.

I'm now debating not bothering as she's just announced that the synthetic version is being withdrawn as there's not enough profit in it for them once marketing and support is taken into account.  It's moving leather only at £750 a time. I can't understand why they wouldn't just market the leather one and mention that they do synthetic too, if advertising one why not just mention the other? They only have 50 synthetic ones left and once they are sold that's it. From my reading in the Facebook FlexEE group they also seem to need lots of shimming and fit fine tuning, there's loads of people unsure about fit and struggling with making it right. With there being very few fitters around and none in Scotland I think I'm going to stick with what I have already which is the leather WOW saddles and my synthetic, Iberian treeless. |

Yes thanks Heather, that may not be the way to go for my boy then, he is happier with his saddle with a gell pad underneath but still prefers the semiflex, definitely more forward going in it.  |

I'm nosey too to hear how the saddle worked for you, Alison  When I visited way back when, I was utterly smitten with the Wow saddle that Heather had for Drummer. At first I thought it was Wow for the way it fit the pony and rider. Then Heather mentioned the price and I made the sucking in sound of  OMG!!! But really, for the comfort and safety and fit, the Wow knocked my socks off, and I was so over the moon with Drummer's lines when I did shiatsu for him. He was so happy with that saddle |
