I bought my first Schleese saddle in 2005 after I tried my coach's Wave on my horse... and instantly was able to get leg yields that I had been fighting for. Though I didn't buy the Wave (I got a JES Elite) I was pretty much hooked! After that, my saddle got tried on a LOT of horses in our barn, and every owner in the barn ended up buying a Schleese because of how much they liked mine. I now am collecting Schleese saddles, having just bought my 2nd JES Elite. I love the way it's adjustable to so many horses, especially those tricky-to-fit thoroughbreds!!
