I’m done with flex tree saddles so I never look to see if they’ve been changed or not.A collection of thirty-five newspapers spanning from 1857-1897. At that time, ALL of the flex tree saddles had that same thin and soft oiled leather used for every part of the saddle. And I ended up selling that TexFlex just as soon as I could manage to find a buyer. THEN I started researching flex tree saddles and problems with them, which were myriad at that time. I followed the flex tree saddles for a bit back in 2008-2009 because I bought a new TexTan Tex Flex because of the way the seat was designed. Maybe Circle Y wised up and quit using that soft and stretchy leather for the jockeys. All had those lumpy areas under the rider’s thigh, and it could be felt when you sat in the saddle. I used to see a lot of the used original Flex and the Flex II that replaced it sitting in the local tack show. Those jockeys are anything but stiff and firm. Here is a well-used Flex that also looks rather distorted and lumpy in that region. the alleged “hogwash” that I wrote in Post 2, here is a Julie saddle that definitely looks like it could have a lump under the rider’s thigh I’d buy this saddle again in a heartbeat. I really didn’t see the gel as anything to get worked up over. Since changing over to this saddle, the horse is moving better, dropping her head, lifting and using her back better.

Note that the poster does not know how to correctly name the parts of a saddle.

I actually cleaned the saddle up really good on Thursday including the underside of the fenders (that part gets sweat crusted on it) and they look perfectly fine. No problems with the rigging messing up the underside of the fenders. The “soft” leather is on the fenders - which is a good thing imho because I am able to freely move my legs and they don’t feel “fixed” in position. Post #2 - I’m not seeing any “thinning” out or unusual wear. What about the gel underneath and the comments about the rigging messing up the leather under the fenders and the leather being not-so-great? Thanks, Flash 44, I knew someone here had the JG saddle and loved it, but couldn’t remember who. Don’t suppose you’d be willing to share a pic of yourself riding in it? I’m a former hunter/eq rider, and this saddle really makes me feel like I can communicate with my leg and seat.Īre you able to get your leg underneath you in that saddle? The fenders look like they’re hung a bit forward. PP, you would like sitting in this saddle - it’s very easy to move in, you are not “locked” into the saddle like some of the western saddles with a taller more upright cantle. She rounds better, her flying changes are fabulous, she is more relaxed through her back.

She was previously ridden in a Rocking R saddle with a Steele tree, and she was much improved in the Circle Y. I ride a very sensitive mare and she is very comfortable with this saddle. I’ve had it for 4 years and ended up buying 2 more circle y saddles because I love it so much. I have the JG Monarch Arena Performance saddle and love love love love love it!!! She’s very green (but coming along beautifully) and we do a mix of arena work and trails. I would mainly used this on my pony who would fit the FQH tree. I’m just about to give up and this might be my last ditch effort. One has a fleece bottom and the other two have the leather bottom with a layer of gel between the leather and the tree.Īnyone have any experience with these saddles? Since so many people speak highly of them, I contacted the HorseSaddleShop people and told them I’m looking for a saddle with a narrower twist and they recommend any of the three JG saddles. I found a saddle with a ground seat that felt better while riding, but I was still in pain afterward. She independently confirmed that my jumping saddle is the best.) (I took three of my saddles to my chiropractor and sat in each one and had her evaluate without me telling her which was which. I’ve got to sell my beautiful JJ Maxwell saddle because of a hip injury that now makes my hips hurt when riding in anything other than a narrow twist.
