Ok... anyone have experience of the Equinelibrium treeless?

[chev]

I'm still researching treeless saddles.. anyone used or know anything about EquineLibrium saddles?

So far they're looking good to me...

[Showjumper]

Not had any reviews about it :( If you get one... ;)

[chev]

:D Watch this space... ;)

Nope but I'm interested too. They seem to be coming up pretty cheap on eBay.

[k8schmutz]

Which ones are you looking at? There's so many types! http://www.naturallyequus.co.uk/saddlery&tack.html

It was the dressage supreme I'd been eyeing up...

[k8schmutz]

Ooh not the one on eBay at the moment? I'm looking at that one too :D

[chev]

I hadn't actually seen the one on ebay til showjumper posted the link on another thread! I have been saving all my pennies for a good treeless (preferably dressage) saddle... course now I've seen the ebay one... :D:D :smitten:

You'll have to fight me for it ;) not sure what the weight distribution is like regarding th stirrups though. I managed to find this pic which looks dodgy to me (not that I know what I'm talking about :P) http://img.inkfrog.com/click_enlarge1.php?image=HPIM2160.JPG&username=equinewhispers&aid=86197971
However that's a different stirrup bar attatchment to the dressage ones anyway so not very helpful :o

This one is a Freeform knock-off and looking at the picture and how floppy it is, I don't think it'll be much good at weight distribution. The stirrup attachment is also pretty scary, coming from inside the saddle...BUT I haven't tried it so these are just my opinions. I sat on a similar saddle at BETA (another Freeform knock-off) and it folded nearly in half under my 8 stone bulk.

[k8schmutz]

:eek: That's a bit worrying. When I saw the attatchment for that one it quickly dissappeared(sp?) off my considered list. The posh dressage one seems to be a different configuration though.

Any more news on this? I like the look of the GP and would love to hear from someone who has actually got one!

[chev]

Well, I bought the dressage supreme and I love it. Had no issues with weight distribution (although I do use a prolite numnah under it after it slipped a bit to one side due to my one-sidedness) and Dolly moves very freely in it. Sweat marks are even and the stirrup bars are set back a little so I find it easier to sit correctly.

No experience of teh GP version though.

I have the hackabout which is by far the comfiest saddle I have sat in.

Showjumper - will write you a review if I want, I keep meaning to send you one for your site but haven't got round to it yet.;)

[Showjumper]

Yes please, wedney, would love the review! :)
