Anyone used these saddles?

Shires Hi-Lite GP adjustable saddle or Rhinegold saddle?

I'm lookin for a cheap saddle for jumping (which I don't do very often) - I'd prefer to try and get hold of a second hand Thorowgood but they are few and far between just now.

Noticed these 2 makes on Ebay but not heard anything about them - does anyone have one?

I have a second hand Thtrowogood for sale....

Dunno about these but Saddle company jumping saddle v good and changeable gullet! not that badly priced and sometimes good deals on ebay!

I've already got a SC WH saddle which so far I've had lots of fitting problems with (that fingers crossed I've not got sorted) but for this reason I probably wouldn't buy another.

ChristmasFairy - what size of saddle do you have? I'm looking for a 17' Medium/Wide Cob.

Neither are very good imo.

I have the hi-lite one for my pony as she has a table top for a back and it changes quite a bit through the seasons. I decided that the 'adjusting' saddle would be the best one to go for. I dont think I would ride my horse in one though. (The pony doesnt do much work!!!!!!)

I've sold both in the past, Hi Lites and Rhinegolds are both made in India, cheap and cheerful but do a job, you get what you pay for!

I have the shires hi-lite with the self adjusting gullet and i dont find it the most comfy of saddles but out of the 7 saddles we have owned plus many others the saddler and i have tried on him its the only one that fits and he changes shape quite alot as hes young so its very useful. I have never had a rhinegold but did have a leather gallop and hated it!
