Just out of interest... are there many yards in the Hallen area and what's the hacking like? It would be the closest area to me (travelling quite far atm) and wondered if any of you kept horses there?! Thanks

yes I think he may have a high but wide wither? He takes a medium or medium wide.. I'm guessing I probably do need rear gussets but not sure what they look like!

I'm in Bristol :) I refuse to be stuck with this as its my 5th saddle now haha :( I will look them up, but I might as well have kept original saddle and not wasted loads of money as its causing exactly the same problem as before. Thank you, I think I need it!

Also the other thing was, because he was soar in the back she took the money before she even fitted the saddle... that might go in my favor hopefully!

I really do hope I can get my money back. I could see she wasn't happy with the fitting herself. It just annoys me I asked for blocks and they said no it would be fine. Obviously I believed them as I'm not a saddle fitter! I have been ripped off enough with saddles I can't afford not to get my...

I have always found it hard getting a saddle to fit my TB with huge withers and recently found out that his Kent and Masters saddle was tipping back as back panels were not deep enough. I had a saddle company saddle fitter come and take all the measurements and spent a long time with me...

Good to hear! Did you find the physio helped straight away or did you have to have them out a few times to see a difference?

My horse is a 16hh 19yo TB. I had him fitted for new saddle about 3/4 weeks ago and saddle fitter did usual tests on back to check for soreness and he didn't react. They came back to fit the saddle today and he was very soar in the sacroiliac area also going into his back. She said he was too...

Thanks everyone feel a lot better now!! Hopefully I will get used to hacking in it! x

Good to see others do manage to hack as well :) Yes true, could maybe swap it but he is very awkward to fit a saddle for and cant afford a new one.. maybe something for the future!

they said not to hack in my GP as it doesn't fit properly :(

I have a GP which he came with but saddle fitter said I shouldn't hack in it really, which is annoying.. Can't afford two!

Who hacks in their dressage saddles? I have just ordered a new saddle and its SO comfy, but will be using it for hacking as well. How to you find going for a fast canter in a dressage saddle?

I am new to keeping my horse in the area and wondered if there were any other routes except Hillyfields and Church Lane? I have been up towards Iron Acton, through a stream and thought there might be some other routes that way? Any suggestions welcome :)

Hi everyone, after searching for ages for a yard I moved my horse to Thornbury, unfortunately he didn't settle at all and was like a different horse, it was horrible to see. :( After a week I moved him back to his old yard, where he went back to his calm self straight away. Trouble is, I have...
