I am using a Wintec Isabel on my Friesian gelding (a broad 4 year old with huge shoulders). It sits nicely behind his shoulder, and allows me to at least attempt to sit to his enormous trot! My friend is using one of the new Wintec dressage saddles with the contour blocs on her boy, who is a thinner but taller Friesian.

I used an Ideal Ramsey on my old boy, who was more of a baroque Friesian.

Hope this helps.

Cliff Barnsby make to measure in about 6 weeks and the prices are not ott. I bought one for my difficult Shagya Arab - high sloping withers and short coupled.
