I have a Heather Moffett treeless saddle for my fell pony. It is ok, although I think it looks a bit big for her. I bought a Native Pony saddle(from the Native pony saddle Company) for her a few months ago and much prefer this. I had intended to sell the Heather Moffet saddle but decided to keep it as a spare.

I'm a treeless fan and have ridden the Ansur but liked the heather moffet fhoenix saddle & settled on that one. Must admit that I don't jump though. The Ansur Konklusion has a good following as a jumping saddle & I have heard alot of good about from people who do jump. I live where saddle fitters are unheard of so treeless is a good option for Knight as there's no one help me be sure my treed saddle is fitting right. I love treeless but like anything it doesn't suit everyone.

I am using the Fhoenix dressage as well. I love it. It is very comfortable and I don't get sore "girly bits" on long rides like I do on a treeless. I also like the fact that it will fit more than one horse. I shall hopefully be using it when I bring on a youngster as there will be no need to keep changing the saddle as the pony grows and matures. There is nothing to dig into the ponies back and I have found they move well in it. I like the Fhoenix as it looks like a conventional saddle and is still usable for showing. I jumped in it with not problem. But then I have never had the luxury of jumping in any other saddle as nothing else would fit my pony so I just had to get used to it! LOL!

Hi I have have used a barefoot Nevada for the last 3 years and my other mare loved it, she could really step out and her shoulders were so free moving. Everyone used to comment on it. I am now using it on Jack and I think it is great as he is only three and will be growing and changing shape for years to come and he loves it. Changed the western fenders to english as I found these more comfortable. I did however switch to a regular saddle for jumping. Liz x

I have the Freeform saddle and I think it's fantastic.
It is very well made and after nearly 4 years it still looks like new. It's very comfortable for long rides and it has never slipped. You can also mount from the ground which I believe isn't the case for some of the other treeless saddles.
