Has anyone seen it in the flesh? Was apparently at YHL but I didn't go  Someone put this link on the other forum and I like a lot! berginequine.com/node/229I was looking at a Fhoenix last year, but my budget didn't quite stretch to it- I love the conventional look of these, and would love to see one in the flesh! Is there any more information anywhere else on the net? Can't find it!! |

I have seen it and sat on one! Beautiful leather as always with Heathers tack, set back stirrups so the rider can achieve a good position without fighting the stirrup, leather tree - so doesnt have the issue of being cold to begin with in winter like the phoenix and vogue, and no horrid pointy bits to hurt the horse. I think my rear end is spoiled by having a vogue cos I didnt find it AS comfy as the vogue - however it is still a million miles away comfort wise from the majority of other saddles. More info here! www.enlightenedequitation.com/ee/boards/index.php/topic,45626.0.html |

Have sat on a prototype and it is absolutely fantastic and really comfortable! I also have a Vogue and agree it is not quite as comfortable as that, but exculding the Vogue it is the best saddle I have ever sat on (and the price is unbelievable ;D) If you are looking for further info and you are on Facebook Heather has put up lots of photos of the dressage and gp synthetic version in the group 'Enlightened Equitation' and will I am sure answer any questions. Am going to get one for my OH as soon as the GP is available  |

Oh, don't tell me that I haven't saved enough pennies yet lol! Really can't wait to get the GP one, just hoping the wide will fit both of my boys, as although it's for the OH I want to be able to borrow it for jumping |

Just to add, the synthetic version looks really smart, you would be hard pressed to know it wasn't leather until you got really close!

I sat on the prototype at Kelly's May Masterclass in Dorset. It fitted my ample behind perfectly! ;D

sounds like a tempting saddle . The synthetic looks good for those on a budget too.
