I got my barefoot london today - have got it on a 7day money back guarantee.

It feels really comfy and I felt I was able to sit deeper, espec to my pony's very bouncy trot!:D I DID however feel like my leg was too far back, being a dressage saddle will the panel be narrower? Is this normal? Have just realised I didnt have the knee roll inserts on either! Doh!

it was between the London and the cherokee, but so far Im quite keen on this one, and my table looked fab wearing it!!!:D

I had one but sold it. I found it sat me in a chair seat and made my hips hurt, also thought the girth straps were too far back and so the saddle sat over the horses shoulder. Also found it was a bit hard compared to other saddles ive tried.
It looks a nice saddle and the leather is nice.

no I haven't tried the cheyenne, but have ridden in saddles very similar to it and have the arizona, still find the arizona seat hard, but the stirrup placement is better.

well I tried the cheyenne today and wasnt too keen. My friend has one though and loves hers. I found it overall was comfy enough, but I didnt feel very secure in it and felt a bit perched. I tried out the London again and have decided to go for it, in the smaller size:D

realised isaid it was the cherokee i was trying in my first post, i meant cheyenne! Ooops!
