Here are a few pictures the new Sensation Harmony Element saddle on Melnir.
It was getting dark and I only had a few minutes.

I tried the stirrups in the endurance configuration, and I can just barely
get them short enough for my short legs. This rigging is a bit different
from my other Sensations, with three billets, one of which can be used to
hang the stirrups. I hung them from the middle billet and they were too far
forward. Next time, I'll try them on the rear billet, and if that doesn't
work, I'll just use the free-hanging method like I normally use.

It felt great on Melnir, and I think it's a great deal. I hope to get a
longer ride in it this weekend.

Oh, the saddle doesn't have a built-in cantle and pommel like the other
Sensations. It has Velcro-on pommel and cantle pads. I realized that I
have an old pommel and cantle bolter from another Sensation I ordered that I
don't use, and I see that I can stack them, and use one, or another or both.
With both sets installed, the seat is actually fairly deep. This is really
cool, to be able to go from extremely flat seat to a medium deep one as I
choose.
