Best budget GP saddle....

[EquestrianFairy]

Say you have a budget of £250.00 (MAX £300) for a GP saddle for a 6yo Sec D no expertise in particular (eg, some jumping, some dressage, lots of schooling)

What would you buy?

Thorowgoods are the best cheaper saddles IMO

Thorowgood or a wintec or a decent 2nd hand leather one.

wintec 2000 i do everything inc BSJA in it on my mare...

would be expecially ideal as with a horse like your own she is likely to change shape xx

If it's a new saddle you want then it would really have to be a synthetic however for around £300 you would be able to pick up a used Bates GP. The Bates saddle is adjustable with replacement gullets so it should fit your horse no matter how his shape may change. The new gullets only cost £14.95p from most saddlers. Should you ever decide to sell the saddle they hold their value better than a synthetic & you would lose very little if anything on a sale.

you could buy my GP 17.5 brown saddle company saddle only about 6 months old and want £300.00 for it, but thats just one option
