Baxtersmom... My thigh is 19" (measuring inseam to point of knee). I ride in a 18" saddle... the Legano I ride in right now (well, I've only ridden in it a handful of times) didn't appear to fit me (it's 18") but after my last ride I realized that it fit's the pony I ride MUCH less than I expected. He's kind of a hard fit... and the first few times it looked almost 'just right'. So, I think the Legano would be good enough if fitted perfectly to the horse and sitting exactly level, but the Premia is a bit more forward of a flap.

I feel that the balance point of the Premia (and Legano, but I'm most familiar with the Premia now) is not super far back, but definitely behind the middle point. I found this ideal as I'm not jumping giant monster fences that require you to get to the very back of your saddle... and you could actually do lower level dressage in it. I'd say the balance point is in the middle of the 'middle' and the 'back'... It seems as though the design of the saddle balances this out by providing ample room in the flap.

I don't know.. I like it quite a bit. I really like that the Premia allows for the adjustment or complete removal of the calf and thigh blocks. Those saddles I sent you have been listed for a while, you could probably make an offer...

It's not considered a super fancy brand right now... but people will eventually catch on and it will be seen in a much different light in a couple of years.
