Solution treeless saddles?

Hi all,
Have been considering one of these, solution-saddles.co.uk/ for the simple fact that (if they stand up to the manufacturer's claims...) I would never need to buy another saddle! Does anyone have any experience with them? They are REALLY expensive so it's not a purchase I'm going into lightly!
I am not in the UK so also can't have a ride in one without much fussing around with international postage!!

You really need to try them because they feel quite different to ride in and you need to be sure both you and your horse like the feeling before you take the plunge. There are also different models (with or without a gullet) and you need to see which one you like best. Finally while you can learn to fit them yourself you do need someone to show you all the different options and make sure you know how to do future adjustments, so all in all I don't think you can do it over the post.

As for having one saddle for every horse, that can also depend on the horse. I had a horse who could only be ridden in a solutions, he was very unhappy in anything else, but my other horse hated the solutions so had to be kept in a traditional treed saddle.

Having said all this with treeless you do get what you pay for and these do suit some horses very well.
