Which 'leathers' do you use on a synthetic saddle. I have the synthetic loop sort that fastens back for my freemax dressage, but they have made a mess of the saddle on the flaps. I'm not sure how long it would be before they rub through, which is annoying. I cant decide if its due to the stuff the darn saddle is made from, or if its because of the synthetic leathers.

I am going to look at the new HM dressage saddle, so need to know which leathers would be best.

I use leather dressage with a T-bar type leathers on the synthetic that I ride in! Horror of horrors I know but the only synthetic dressage leathers that I've used in the past have looked really scruffy, disintegrated or stretched so badly ive had one side three holes longer than the other!!

I use my EE t-bar ones and have had no issues of the leather stretching in the nearly 4 years I have owned my saddle (it is 4 now right?) anyhoo my only complaint is the little leather keeper protector thing stretched out to much - but that is easily replaced if I would get off my duff and do it Cheesy

I use normal leather leathers on my wintec.  I have leather dressage leathers for my dressage saddle (brown leathers and a black saddle - how shocking!)
