I keep seeing them appearing for sale on my facebook newsfeed, I know nothing about them and was just wondering, do they not put pressure on the wrong parts of the spine and back muscles compared to a conventional saddle with gullet and padding? I know quite a few people on HG use them so thought it best to ask here Tin hat on just incase but it is just a genuine question

You need to have a flat backed pony with no withers for it to be suitable it's literally like riding bareback with stirrups I absolutely love mine it wasn't suitable for the pony bought for but is fab on my other Connie and welsh d I've done all sorts in it including flat classes dressage sj xc schooling odes and I even had British eventing themselves confirm it was legal to use at BE events they are much happier in it and are much more free moving although it did take a little getting big used to mind if all of mine were the right shape for it I'd have one in every size!

I absolutely love riding in mine too. After a long hard battle trying to get a saddle to fit a pear shaped pony I wish I had done this years ago. Also much better for me riding a very small pony than trying to squash my bum into a small saddle and sitting on the cantle! I too would have one for every pony I own if I could!! I find it puts me into a much better position that my treed saddles which want to put you into an armchair position.
