Apart from cost....can anyone give me a good reason

Not to buy a WOW saddle. Have one on trial, just soooo expensive and wondering if others have some negatives. I want it for jumping so have a deep seat (very spooky horse) with jumping flaps. All help gratefully received.

I personally don't like them but the mare I used to ride had an old make of WOW. I did ride in a newer version but still didn't like it.
I find you either love them or hate them, a bit like marmite.
The people I know who have had WOW saddles that loved them have said they would only ever have a WOW so each to their own. If you can afford it, you like it and the horse likes it then go for it

When I was waiting for the saddle fitter to check mine now the horse has lost weight I rode in the Wintec that came with him. For me it was hard and uncomfortable and the horse's stride was choppy and he hated going downhill. Nuff said!!

There have been a lot of discussions about these saddles, it might be worth doing a search.
