    Wintec Saddles?

    love them and thorogoods too. they are light weight too compared to traditional saddles and if they get wet out hacking it doesnt matter. Dont need to clean them unless they somehow get full of mud.

    yes been there more than once. OP there is nothing wrong with taking things slowly. mounting and getting off for example. just walking round the arena or out hacking. it isnt compulsory to trot canter or jump! keep it all doable and small baby steps. you'll get there and enjoy your horse again.
