Barnsby dressage saddle with FLAIR

[anna22]

I am looking at a dressage saddle for my 17.1hh IDxSF, he's a medium width, high withered monster... I have been offered a barnsby with flair.

Just wondered if anyone has any experience with these? He has a Sue Carson FLAIR jumping saddle (which came with him) at the moment and he is very comfortable in that. But I rode him in a friends VSD and soon noticed the difference in how he moved his shoulders with the straighter cut!

Anyway, the long and short of it is... would people recommend a barnsby dressage saddle? I have a tiny pony GP one with normal flocking and that was lovely and comfy.

Any thoughts greatly received!

PS Happy new year to all - lets hope its a drier one!!!

Nice quality saddles but otherwise it's all about will they fit your horse, and you. Even if you said what model it was I'd not know enough about them to say whether it might fit either of you, but without knowing which model, they do vary a lot, it's impossible to say!
