[RC] Saddle questions/advice?!?! - Erin Clutter

Hello.
 
I was wondering if anyone has or does ride in a podium saddle?  I've heard a little about them and I am looking into buyin a saddle.  I have a traditional orthoflex and I just dont have enough "freedom" with my legs, and I being very young, it isn't that good my knees to be killing me after a training ride(and taking advil/IB profin?? before hand).  So if anyone has ridden or does ride in a podium saddle, if they could give me their opinion on the saddle(is it relatively comfortable, do you have "freedom" in the legs, does it distribute weight around the whole saddle--> not just one area,etc.).  If someone could give me some info on them that would be great!!! Or, if anyone has any other suggestions on another saddle that they really like that does allow lots of movement and distributes the weight well.  My orthoflex is GREAT at distributing weight, but i don't have much leg movement(which makes my ride quite crappy and not very enjoyable...) and I have a stubben english saddle and its great with movement but it puts a lot of pressure on my horses back(like a lot of english saddles do, for my horse atleast).  So...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
Sincerely,
Erin
