My boy is on Relax me - not 100% sure it's working, as he can still have episodes of silliness (even just hacking), am beginning to wonder if it's making him a bit worse than before he was on it :( Maybe I'll go back to the loading dose for a few days, as it did seem to work well at the start...

Thanks, i downloaded it and printed it off, and he's come out as a low wither type, wide fitting, so looks like the cob saddle should suit him. :D

xena-wales - what a lovely boy he is! He does have a high wither:eek: don't see many of those on a welshy!! Along with the wide back, makes fitting a nightmare. Good luck with the saddle fitter - who do you use? We seem to be in the same area - I'm in ceredigion.

Hi, i take it then that the tree shape fitted her, it was just the cut that didn't suit?

Thanks, does he have quite a flat back, or more of a curve, as i know the standard gp tends to have more of a curved tree? :)

Hi, is this the cob version or the standard gp? thanks

Hi, another saddle question I'm afraid! Just wondering if the cob version is only suitable for those with very low/flat withers? My welsh sec d is 5, and does have a slight to moderate wither. What type of horses are wearing the cob version? All replies greatly appreciated :D I have...

Wow, some really positive responses - just what i was hoping for!! Spinal Tap, when you bought the second hand ones, how did you find they adapted to your horses shape (as I'm presuming they would have been molded to another horses' shape), did it take long to fit well, they say it takes 3...

Thanks, have just found another thread, and there does seem to be mixed views on them!! Very confusing!!:confused:

Hi, as the title suggests really, am thinking of getting one for my 5 yr old Sec D, as he's still gorwing and changing shape, and i know they can be adjusted by a qualified saddler. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. :D

Oh dear, that's making me think twice about taking my 5yr old out hunting! We've done a few pleasure rides, and he does get quite excited to begin with but soon settles down, he's normally very chilled and quite lazy to hack at home. Also, what makes me think he might blow his lid...

Wow - that says a lot!! Surely out of 7 of them, a couple would be child friendly!! Have definately made up my mind - welshie or dartmoor/NF (if i can find one round here!) it is then, now just got to find the RIGHT ONE!!! Thanks everyone for your fab advice!!

That's such a nice story, sounds like just the type i need!! My first pony was a section a aswell, she was a lovely pony, although a bit stubborn, and definately taught me to ride!!

Thanks everyone - sounds like a pretty definite no for the shetland then!! I had thought about a dartmoor or NF, but to be honest, I don't know of any around us (we are in wales, and they just seem to be Sec As!), will definately keep my eyes and ears peeled for one though. I...
