Ansur classic or solution freestyle ?

[saskiahorsey]

Hi as title really which would you go for ... Quite a dif in price but look like similar saddles ? Neither have gullet / panels ... Cant try as they are used saddles... I have a solution smart jump and need a dressage saddle asap

The Ansur classic has no gullet/panels and a wider twist, whereas the Solution Freestyle has a shallow gullet/base panels, providing better lateral stability. The seat is also slightly narrower (has more of a twist) than the Ansur classic. Any Freestyle saddle you see advertised is also likely to be younger than Ansur classic saddles advertised, though of course how they have been stored/cared for is as/more important.

As Willow has said but having ridden in both I would recommend the freestyle as the classic really stretches your hips! However, horses that have bad mental associations with saddles often prefer the classic as it feels different from normal.
