“I had a synthetic gp saddle on 14 day trial . I think the scheme and the customer service was excellent but the quality of the product was awful . I was surprised not to be asked for feedback when I returned the item . I had only tried the saddle with my saddle fitter and if it had fitted I probably would have trialed the leather version. The saddle appeared to be comfortable but didn’t fit my horse . I had seen the synthetic saddle at an equine fair and thought it looked as good as a leather one so maybe I was unlucky with the one that I tried . The photos may not be clear but the bolts were visible at the front , the back looked unfinished and there seemed to be small tears in the fabric which showed the white backing . Under the pommel the fabric was rucked up and there was a split in the trim . I do endurance and unaffiliated dressage so wanted a go saddle that would be comfortable for long distance riding, dry quickly for successive days riding and look smart enough for dressage .”
