I have a Synergist and love it. At first I did not love it and sent it back
to have the stirrups moved slightly (less than 1/2 inch) forward and then I
could sit without a hollow in my back and if my horse made a quick stop, I
wasn't thrown forward with my legs swinging back. They were great people to work
with and they only had the saddle a few days before it was sent back to me. I
would recommend this saddle to anyone.
I had taken dressage lessons for about 6 years, moved and sold my dressage
saddle. I started taking lessons again from a European instructor who took one
look at my Synergist and rolled her eyes. She didn't think she could give me any
kind of lesson with that saddle. Well, she was totally impressed. She said I had
the best seat in that saddle than any of her other students. It really is a
"western dressage saddle".
