My ex racer currently has an Ideal event saddle, I love it and thought the fit was perfect, but the chiropractor said it was a little too long on her back (think it's 17.5, maybe 18") and she will not build up much muscle just behind her withers as it is a bit tight there, but is a good enough fit to continue riding in...
I am now looking at new saddles, as the Ideal belongs to my arabian mare anyway, but the cheaper I can get the better right now.
Found a lot of saddle company saddles that I can easily get a lady to adjust and fit, but also hear the Barrie Swain get better reviews... Struggling to find a Barrie Swain as cheap as Saddle Company saddles second hand, in good condition and 16.5-17" though :/
Anyone got any other recommendations or further feedback on if you have either one of the saddles mentioned? Thanks
