I'm 5ft 9, size 12 with long arms, and the only way I could get a decent fitting tweed was to buy male one and get it extensively altered at a decent tailor. Worked out about £180 for the jacket and adjustments.
Thankyou be positive ☺️ I've been doing this the last few times she's been ridden, it seems to be helping! She's more willing to slow. I have decided that I am going to mostly hack out over the winter with my older horse as a lead, to let her see the world and hopefully settle her...
