I'm struggling to find a decent single flap jump saddle that has a wide bearing surface area on the panels I need 16.5/17 ins medium- medium wide. I just can't find anything second hand.
The Black Country Vinci is perfect!! I love this but it's like hens teeth to find.
Devoucoux , Butet, Equipe, Ideal, Albions , barnsbys are not right for us.

I think the Amerigo vega single flap might suit, but can't find one..

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
 
Thanks Jnhuk I've seen that and I love it but just can't stretch that far at the moment !! I'm hoping that it will still be there in another 6 weeks or so when I may have enough for it but I'm not counting on it.. :-(
 
Have you thought about getting a saddler out not to measure or try saddles as im sure thats probably what you have already done but to maybe discuss your budget and see if they could source one for you from elsewhere? not sure if you have one similiar but i live up North and we have a facebook site where people can post items for sale or wanted, maybe an idea?? Just a thought but noticed you hadnt mentioned the Bates or even the JW range which i know are extreamely good quality both of them.
 
That's a shame... I have a Black Country vinici for sale but it's been adapted from the mono flap as my instructor hated it! (I bought it from her)
 
Lucyebbs- thank you for that!
Annie- I do think that Ideal are brilliant for the horse but just don't give that super secure/ balanced feeling for me when jumping! :-(
Wildcard- that's what I've done already but he wasn't interested in sourcing a second hand one for me, but it did help identify exactly what I wanted. Do you know if the bates or Whitaker comes in a monoflap?
Dolly mix- I have Pm ed you to find out more! :-)
