Saddle dilemma- confused!

[No_Angel]

Mom really wanted an SBS, but all secondhand ones went to quickly or were too expensive :( We then found this lovely saddle thanks to showjumper that has most things that mom wants and mom ordered one, buts its made especially and wont arrive till june sometime.
Now ive been on the Enlightened Equitation site and I think the SBS may be available again soon.
What do we do :confused:
Get the saddle from germany we have already ordered and don't know anything about, I think its new and can't find any other info about it anywhere, or get the SBS thats in this country and tried and tested, but will havea long waiting list, plus its more expensive.
Im so confused :( :o

Bump :)

I'm mucho curious about what's happening with the HM Flexion - I keep checking back but Heather's being sneaky (Heather, we want to know what's happening!!!) If the Flexion comes out sooner than June, then obviously go for that since you've wanted it for so long. Although if you get the Startrekk and then decide you want a Flexion instead, I'm sure you'll still get a great price on the Startrekk (doubtful if you'd even lose any money on it)

[No_Angel]

There is that to it, sell the saddle on ebay and im bound to get back what we paid (as everyone is going treeless mad :rolleyes: ) so even if we don't get on with it sell it on then try a Flexion.
The only problam is that this other saddle is definatly a dressage saddle, and mom has never ridden in one and she might automatically hate it as its different (shes like that), but if I *make* her ride in it she will probably be ok, she now keeps calling the Trekker hers and saying she loves it, funny that, considering she hated it and said she would never get back on it :rolleyes:

[Showjumper]

Indeed - and cause it looks so "normal" people will definitely buy it, even if they aren't technically a treeless fan.

lol she might find the dressage similar to the Trekker but with more of a twist :)

[No_Angel]

Hopefully she will, I already have to use my gulleet supplement pad from my Ansur to lift the seat for her.

I wonder if I put an SBS seatsaver on the Startrekk mum will notice the differnce? lol

[Showjumper]

Hehe could be worth a try! :)

[No_Angel]

I do haope she liek it, and I hope it fits Murf. It has to be adjusted by them and has differnt gullet chamber sizes, so it technically isn't totally treeless, more like the Trekker wiht the pommel.

Any news on the Diddi pad?

[Showjumper]

The Diddi should have been despatched on Wednesday and all the info sent to my work email but I wasn't in work most of last week (ill) so I know nothing :( Hopefully it should be here in the next week or so but I probably won't get to use it until June due to holidays and stuff this month.

[No_Angel]

I don't know who you could get a saddle and not use it! :eek: Id be out before we set off for the plane trying it on :p

[Showjumper]

lol Dolly's off work until Saturday when she gets Bowen therapy, and then I'm on a teambuilding thing in Cornwall from Sunday til Wednesday, then off to Rome Saturday morning. I might get to use it next Thursday and Friday (if it's arrived) but those will be the only chances I get this month :)

[No_Angel]

I'll try it out for you if you want! lol :D :p

[Showjumper]

lol no problem, Dolly could do with the exercise...
