Black Country Eden versus Eloquence

[buzul]

Trying to decide between the two ,been told the eden is more for the "dippy "back and the eloquence is straighter in the tree,but i also hear the black country mixes trees and panel shapes within the models sometimes.my horse is in between dippy and flat~ish .lloking at each model,it seems to me the eden here in this case would suit a more flat back while the eloquence a more curved one.right or wrong ? both have front gussets which will be good as he has the typical if slight TB dips behind wither.the eden has a K panel or maybe even skid row .
first pic is the eden,second the eloquence .any thoughts greatly appreciated , [ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“thumb”,“data-attachmentid”:10328318}[/ATTACH]

I would call a saddle fitter for Black Country saddles to ask. I have been looking at their jumping saddles and really like their quality. I’d be tempted to try one of their dressage saddles if it was available and simple and I hadn’t settled on a dressage saddle.

You can Facebook message BC and they are very good at getting back to you. With regard to the two models, you have it backward: Eden is for curvier backs, Eloquence for straighter backs. I’ve only ridden in the Eloquence, have 2 of them! and the Vinici. I like both. No comment on the Eden because I have no experience with how it is to ride in…Hope that helps!

that’s is actually what i said,eden is for dippy,eloquence for straighter backs but thank you for confirming it anyway :)a helpful saddler confirmed today that i’d better go look for a eden now.will start from scratch and do the template/tracing route and have a saddler evaluate
