    arrrrgggghhhh saddles!!!!!

    Sorry no advise re saddlers. However my TB is a very awkward shape - very narrow, high withers and big shoulders. I got an Ideal Patriot last May and its amazing, fits the horse perfectly and is so lovely to ride in. Now I would never get any other jump saddle.

    Where have all the working pupils gone??

    ^^^ This I was a working pupil and I am not afraid of hard work but was treated like less than s**t and got nothing back that I was promised. It just isn't worth it, I went to uni after so I could get a well paid job instead.

    Global Champions Tour & SJ Tack

    Currently watching the GCT in Doha and have noticed the interesting bitting and nosebands. Now can I just say I will never ride to this level and I completely understand that they are jumping courses of 1.60m, there is a lot resting on these classes and a lot of the horses that reach top level...

It makes a difference in my TB as it helps him keep weight and condition with out having to give him any supplements, and for...

    Disappointing winter yard/ everyday riding jackets

    I'm another one that loves Puffa jackets!!! I also have a down jacket from Horze, that didn't break the bank and has served me well for years.

    Saddles...!

    I'd rather have leather as well but some of the synthetic saddle look just like leather ones, much nicer than the old synthetics, IMO. Plus most are adjustable so more likely to be able to be fitted to your horse.

    what saddle do you have on your high withered big shouldered tbs

    I have a very high and hollowed withered TB and he also has big shoulders and I have an Ideal Jessica dr saddle as well as an Ideal Patriot for jumping, hacking ect. They both fit him fab and he is a really hard shape to fit.

    Groom/rider wanted

    Looking for someone to ride 3 days during the week for 2/3 weeks in March. I am at uni and need a groom/rider to do some fittening hacks before I come home. Horse is safe but a little sharp (typical TB) and I would like someone with plenty of experience. Does anyone have any recommendations...
