Great review!

I have a friend who just bought a Sensation and loves it. He will be riding 
it on Tevis, so I will post any feedback after the event.

>   My problem is  I have a shortback  CMK type arab, I have a long thigh

>   I found I need my  leg forward  to fit my thigh and be able to  shorten 
> and fold my leg ( only way I can ride a barrel on 4 legs).
>    I demoed the  Extra large seat which equals an 18"-- (I am 5"6  average 
> build and weight).
>     Also  all saddles hurt my fanny--
>      It was very, very  comfortable, my horse seemed freer in the shoulder

> Seemed pretty secure-- felt too  locked in in the BM, and too up there on 
> the Freeform--Cheynne - I was too in between sizes and  the pommal and  
> cantle  didn't seem secure  enough for trail, also 'drowned' my horse.
>     I like that you can move the  stirrup postion, and the  "hard use"

>      And there are 'way too many color choices'-- took me a week to 
> decide. I did demo the hybrid with a dressage cantle and am getting that

>     I have only demoed it in the arena--- was looking for fit--- wouldn't

> and just  move the inserts in and out of the pockets I put on them.
>     Really nice saddle-- and  light--- can carry it in one hand.----Not 
> recommended for riders over 200 lbs.
