I am looking at getting Dora a new saddle and have looked at the black County saddles, especially the Grafton. Has anyone got one and what are they like?

Their quality is pretty nice, on a par with Ideal if you're more familiar with them, especially for the price of the Grafter. It does look like it might be doubled calf leather rather than a single piece of leather for the flap, so slightly less hardwearing, and I'm personally not a fan of padding on the skirt as it makes more bulk, but some people really like it.
If fitting on a wide horse I'd want to see that the head of the tree was wide enough, and that the panels are really flat, the tree looks pretty flat but not sure how the bars lie as I don't fit BC. I'd also want four girth straps including a point strap, to give me as many girthing options as possible for flatter horses.
