Never heard of a Supreme - or is this the SBS? But it doesn't look like one ???

It's the saddle that went on to become the Mondial Industries one. I had a Supreme as one of the beta testers when they first came out and they are really fabulous saddles - I sold mine when I bought an SBS as well as I found I was using that instead, but to be honest I regret selling it and I'd buy this ebay one myself if I wasn't totally skint after Holland!

They are indistinguishable from treed saddles to look at, except there isn't a tree under where the rider sits (only the front arch part).

Ooh I didn't know about these. Thanks Fiona.

ETA: were there any teething problems with these saddles - like pressure from stirrup bars or slipping etc?

The only problem I had with mine was a finishing detail - some of the leather around the panel became untucked, this was remedied by the workshop for me. The saddle functioned in all respects like a more flexible version of a treed saddle.

No problems with stirrup bars, Abi, but it was not as stable on my horses as the Fhoenix.
