Best Saddle for a TB?

[lisan]

I have a jumping saddle for Ruby, but want a VSD for schooling/hacking. The tree on the jumping saddle is a 30 whatever that equates to??

What makes (not expensive, that I could pick up 2nd hand) do you guys recommend?

Thanks

I would recommend the aThorowgood t4 hi-wither to any TB owner in this country. a well decided, cheep and good looking saddle.

I have an Albion K2 VSD that I love and suits the TB shape so I'm told, though not that many cheap second-hand ones about - well there wasn't when I was looking for one!

What make is your jumping saddle - maybe they make a VSD using the same tree??

Agreed on the Thorowgood high wither. An excellent, bargain saddle.

ThorowgoodTB high wither didn't fit my TB at all, but Albion K2 GP fits like a glove.

I have a ideal int wide seat event but it was custom made for my horse with longer tree points and extra deep pannels and an ideal suzannah which is my all time fav saddle!!!!

Both saddles were new tho and not cheap.

My TB is an Albion fit

I have a K2 GP and an SLK dressage

All soooo expensive

Going to keep my eyes open for a 2nd hand Albion I think.

Mine has a Thorowgood - like the others said, it is great for her and it is light too which suits her well.

I have a Saddle Company saddle on mine, and fits very well. Definitely worth a look

I've had my Albion Selecta reflocked more in close contact style to fit my boy.
Old Stubbens fit TBs if you can get hold of one as do old (probably very old) Eldonians or Giddens'.

My Lovat & Rickets Event saddle fits both mine, 1 is a 17hh TB the other is a rather chunkier 16hh TBX. Super comfy too!!!!
