I am being forced to look elsewhere for a saddle for the Fat Lad - he is the broadest horse with the least wither I think I have ever met.
He is currently being ridden in an extra wide Wintec GP for his fittening work but can't stay in it for hunting, as the saddle is only 17" and he is my OH's hunter!
So question is... what makes of saddle do men prefer?
I have a close contact jumping Bates which fits him but my OH is 6'3 and the style of saddle is too small - he is used to his much-loved Stubbens, with knee rolls and larger seats.
What saddles would have a larger seat, some form of knee roll and be as forward cut as a close contact?
Also, OH will be EXTREMELY reluctant to spend any money at all on a saddle, so nothing that breaks the bank either!!
