I finally went on a long ride yesterday and it was amazing, the Vogue is so soft and
comfy. I love it.
Thanks,
Randi
comfy. I love it.

I wish I had the words to tell you how excited I am about my new saddle. I
couldn't believe how this saddle could immediately put me into a classical position
and comfortably too! Oscar really loved it too. I didn't have to work nearly so hard
to get him suppled and on the bit. It is amazing. The Fhoenix allows me to feel so
much of my horse. This is going to be a huge advantage in continuing to learn
dressage. I am so excited about it. I was hesitating at selling my old hunt seat, but
not now! I can't wait to get rid of it now!
Thanks for all your help,
Jacquie

Hi Shannon,
I've been looking at the Fhoenix saddles for the last year and recently got to try the
new Standard model because it was finally in my price range. Well, now I refuse to
ride in any other saddle! I absolutely love it, its exactly what I've been searching
for. I've been looking for a comfortable saddle that puts you in a balanced position
and lets you give clear aids while being comfortable to different horses I ride (I
don't own a horse yet). I wanted a saddle that did not hinder my riding, is that so
much to ask for? After spending a lot of time and money buying and trying different
saddles, and finding out that none of them satisfied my needs I finally tried the
Fhoenix. I will never go back! My current lesson horse absolutely loves it and it
actually lets me ride! I don't have to struggle to maintain my position or give clear
aids, I don't have to worry about sore seat bones anymore! The Fhoenix lets you
forget that you are on a saddle, it becomes just you and your horse. I own a very
nice and expensive Crosby, a Barefoot saddle and a Thorowgood dressage; I refuse
to ride in any of them now and they're all going on Ebay very soon. I can't wait to
get my brand new Fhoenix and continue to improve my riding in a saddle that fits
ALL my needs!
Thank you Heather for designing this saddle and Shannon for being so patient with
all my questions!

Hi Shannon,
I wanted to let you know I was able to pick up my saddle yesterday. It looks
wonderful!!! I haven’t gotten a chance to ride in it yet, but I am really excited!
Thanks,

This is a phone conversation summary by me, I did not get an email yet, but such
an exciting change, I just had to share:)
I just heard back on a Fhoenix demo. of a lady with a 7 yr old mare they have been
trying to get going under saddle, but had a major bucking issue (started bucking
and rearing as soon as she was mounted and could not be ridden by her or trainer)
even though she was working well on the ground. Well they put the Fhoenix on her
and trainer mounted up - no bucking or "aires". Next owner went for a ride, again,
no bucking, leaping or objections - her first "normal" ride on her sensitive mare.
Owner called me ecstatic and of course bought the saddle.
I have asked her to send a testimonial, but just had to post this preview:)

I love the suberpanel... It is
AWESOME!! I am digging the fact that since I live in such a HOT climate, the
Cork seems to absorb all the heat. In my other saddles, he is always REALLY
sweaty under the saddle, but with the CORK, he is slightly DAMP.. In the 2
rides I have used it, it already started to take his shape.. LOVE it..
He offered me some really nice trot work, all up and elevated in the front.. It
was pretty COOL... Now if I can get it in the canter I will be all set.. Oh and
I rode him in a bit, just to see, and amazingly, he was not fussy at all. Like
when I ride bareback. So I guess all along his fussiness was due to his saddle
pinching and poking him.. Also BENDING is a BREEZE now..
It's amazing what a saddle can do!!
