The billets are on the underside of the flap so they don't pinch my leg and the block actually looks very nice, similar to a devocoux/Luc Childeric. I really appreciate the close contact feel and it is indeed a breeze to clean.Theresa Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244909586824733722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-83134283261878564652012-03-27T21:31:50.482-04:002012-03-27T21:31:50.482-04:00I love my DK Saddlery monoflap, but mine is tradit...I love my DK Saddlery monoflap, but mine is traditional looking without exposed blocks and that part appeals to me.

The design was different than the BC because the billets hung directly out of the saddle flap.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-41823865258306606512012-03-27T16:43:00.224-04:002012-03-27T16:43:00.224-04:00Your lists of pros and cons tell me a monoflap wou...Your lists of pros and cons tell me a monoflap would not work with my current partnership. I am 5'8" with long legs on a (leased) narrow, slab-sided Danish x Arabian gelding; it is hard enough to get my legs on him with my double-flapped Black Country!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-63285984267265670462012-03-27T16:36:28.270-04:002012-03-27T16:36:28.270-04:00I LOVE my single flap dressage saddle (Custom Sadd...I LOVE my single flap dressage saddle (Custom Saddlery Revolution). It's a little bit different than a traditional monoflap like you have above, but it's still a single flap as the billets are not exposed. At $3750 new (I got mine for $1800 used) I think they're not that much more expensive, I think that just depends on your brand. I also have a monoflap Antares jump saddle that alsoNicku Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006911603623063201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-28221623242568653912012-03-27T15:29:06.514-04:002012-03-27T15:29:06.514-04:00Interesting about the price, because they use less...Interesting about the price, because they use less leather and should cost less for materials. Maybe there are construction considerations. <br /><br />There certainly seem to be some benefits.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.com
