I have a baby coming up that doesn't have the huge run withers my others have. Both parents have just okay withers. I usually ride a peaked treeless and was thinking about trying a flex tree hoping I wouldn't have to worry about slipping. I sat in the Double J flex tree and I liked the seat but my legs felt trapped. Any other treeless girls have a flex tree they like? I mean I might as well shop for a saddle for an unbroke horse while I'm stuck at home...

I ride a Marlene Edleman McCrae flex tree.  Actually have one of the Circle Y and two Cactus models.  Cactus is the current maker.  They fit well on a wide variety of sizes and body types.  I like the way they set and legs movement is good.  

I rode in the Marlene Flex for a long time (by Circle Y).  The ones from Cactus I did not like.  Now I ride in the Horse Tack World flex tree which is made by Circle Y.  I LOVE them.  I like the Cheyenne roll seat, not the pencil seat.  They were designed by Felicia Carlton Peloquin.

I have been looking at these flex horsetackworld saddles. Did you find that the seat size runs smaller than a reg. treed saddle? They look very nice.

I prefer my circle y over the cactus saddles. Actually the cactus is better quality as far the leather and workmanship, but I prefer the ride of the Circle y.

I find seat size true to size.  The only difference was the Cheyenne roll and pencil roll I found to be different feeling.  I tried both bought 2 Cheyenne roll.

Thanks for the reply :)
