Liberty treeless saddles

Anyone have any experience of Liberty saddles? In particular the Liberty Milan treeless?

Not personally but I'm sure that there was a thread on here about them. I can't find it so I wonder if it was deleted?

They've spruced their website and photos up since it first hit NR (and other forums) but from the photos of the saddles that they had before I wouldn't put one on a rocking horse never mind a real horse.

I may be wrong but aren't they the same people who were far too honest about the quality of their saddles ("best of a bad lot" I think was one phrase used) for their own good

Oh yes ... just been looking through the photos. Still wouldn't touch one with your very long bargepole. The saddles are obviously asymmetrical in some of the photos and the quality just isn't good.

There's someone on the IHDG who has one and speaks highly of it - but has yet to submit a review with pics to my site (lol hint hint if you also use NR! ) But she's the only person I've heard of who has one. I've sent messages to tons of people who've bought them on Ebay but not had a reply

Hmm... will have to think about this one! (It did seem a bit too good to be true at the price they were selling )

Edit to add I see what you mean about the asymmetry BM. Back to the drawing board....
