I went to see Saffy today to try her new treeless saddle on. I'll write up a full report later but I loved it! Took a bit of getting used to but it's sooo comfy. It fit perfectly too once I had the special treeless pad on. She seemed a lot looser through her back too and wasn't doing her usual giraffe impression. She obviously needs a lot more work to get her working correctly but it's a start! By the end she was working a lot lower and was less on the forehand than she looks in a lot of the early photos.

Lovely photos, she looks well, do you have to have a special saddle fitter out for treeless?

:) Thanks guys

Rhea - I didn't have a saddle fitter out but I'd imagine it's always better to have one to make absolutely sure it's not pressing on anything it shouldn't be. I did have a good fiddle around with it and changed the pad etc, poked and prodded around to make sure there wasn't any pressure on her back.
