Duett Rondo and its variant the Duett Companion Trail. They are built on a hoop tree and are the only treed saddles so far to fit my extremely wide cob.

I have two.. Solution Saddle and the Michaela Ling (now Strada saddles) Glad you mentioned Strada as was very impressed with them unfortunately none of their trees fitted Neets and they were honest and said so (a really big plus) ... but for a horse they do fit I think they'd be ace.

Free n Easy - love my GP with extra jumping rolls, for all the reasons that Zuzan said - plus comfortable for 80k rides or for jumping.
The V girth system that means that my girl with a girth groove up her elbows has a saddle that stays in place even across Exmoor.
The adjustable positioning for stirrups help your riding position.
Finally the unwavering excellent service from Les at FnE, who is always there to help.

Friend got one for her Oldie, I was sharing him at the time.. I am one sided and right leg which was a good bit weaker than left, used to slide forwards, nothing I could do about it. The knee roll being on the outside of the flap as opposed to on the inside, stopped my leg from sliding and kept it in place, thus making me ride and sit better, Very comfy saddle once used to it too. She still has the saddle, but sadly not the horse.

Used to have an HM vogue but traded it in for a Mondial (Mondial Industries Holistic Supreme Flexion Saddle). Very, very happy now as I can can do everything including jump. It fits most equines as well so I can ride my friend's horse in my saddle. And everyone seems happy in it.

Semiflex by kay Humphries/Nick Dolman, hand made, to measure. foam flocked, fab for me and fab for Brio. A real luxury but should last her forever.

Balance: My horse chose it, quite definitely. It was comfortable for me. The information and back-up provided was excellent

This goes to show that there are many many types of saddles, most of which I've never heard of.

Albion Ultima Platinum dressage saddle - my horse went so well in it, good weight bearing panels, puts me in a good position and adjustable (by my saddler), so hopefully when I buy my new horse, I will be able to use my saddle again.
Also love my Ideal Suzannah which I bought from a fellow DG'er.

My favourite saddle? One that fits my horse! I'm currently in a Saddle Company one, which was a definite improvement over the previous one (got the horse's vote). I went with this make because it was one out of several my fitter thought would work, and is economically priced. So far, so good. Though I think I've learned enough about saddle fitting to realize I'll never know enough...
