Hello,
Can people with horses with flat backs tell me what saddle they use please?
I have a 4yr old KWPN that I need a new jumping saddle for, the saddler came today and said that she has an exceptionally level back rather than dipped like a lot of horses. Whilst this shows my schooling is paying off it is a nightmare for saddle fitting!
She is a good medium to medium- wide and when she works she rounds so much that saddles tend to be pushed off her back. We tried a pessoa that was nice on her but I wasn't overly keen, also tried a jeffries and a CTD (cheaper stubben) among others but they either didn't fit her or didn't suit me.
I need something quite secure but also jumping up to around 1.10 eventually. I am used to a close contact jump saddle but I'd like something that is comfortable for hacking and hunting too this time!
I'm hoping people can give me some ideas and then we can go away and try a few more.
Thankies!
