Thank you, i hadnt thought of it that way. Im in Buckinghamshire.

Thank you, the mare is 8 and her owner has meticulously looked after her and been very ware of fitness, care, tack fit, leg protection, holistic care etc. I will start looking for good 'allrounder' saddle fitters who have a wide variety of saddles to try :(

Thank you, i feel lost already :( Anything spring to mind sbloom?

That was one of the other ones, Kent & Masters that when put on looked great but when ridden in was a really big no! Will check out the others, thank you :)

Thank you for the feedback. I've made contact with a couple of WOW saddle fitters in my area.

Thanks ycbm, it was a scramble through my phone trying to find pictures that aren't cute face pics, lol! The owner rode her with the fairfax in a saddle pad and then prolite as per the pic but the saddle fitter said just a pad and my VIP pad (sorry its not a narrow, she is rather narrow compared...

Hello All Hoping to tap in on all the experience on this forum regards saddling a very straight backed WB. Currently in a Fairfax jump which is ok but not ideal (and its not mine, Im using it from the previous owner for a while) Have tried Ideal, some random and Albion before the saddle fitter...

Im on garden leave at the moment but yes, like you, Im riding all the time and loving it again :)

I've just rented my yard out to a new neighbour moving in so i could go back to livery three minutes walk from home. I found it very lonely and isolating and became lethargic and very meh! about having a horse at home when i spent all my spare time doing maintenance etc. Now i have five day...

We have to hack over a narrow foot bridge and once when the water was low the fish scuttled off across the river bed as we were crossing and my boy has never forgiven them, and is always jumpy going over the bridge, lol! Last week he put in a fake spook then scared himself with the noise of my...

Start using mud barrier products before you think you might need them. Better a week too soon than a day too late!

I'd all but given up on a correctly fitted saddle and the couple of times recently i had a master saddler out she tried to squeeze my horse into a medium/ wide Albion and then tell me my horse was very broken and hence why he shuffled around bronking when i tried to ride him in this 'perfectly...
