Im having a problem with my current saddle with regards to XC. Basically its got a medium deep seat and it keeps whacking me on the bum!
Also as my boy is quite broad shouldered its a VSD which leaves sweet FA to take up my leg so I cant shorten my stirrups much more than SJ length (and I ride quite long anyway so its not great for XC!) I've been looking into getting him a close contact event/jumping saddle for a while which will a) hopefully have a flatter seat for my poor bum, and b) take up my leg a bit more. Question is, is it likely to restrict his shoulder being that bit more forward cut? He's a 16hh freisian x ISH and is in a medium fit saddle but has reasonably substantial shoulders and I obviously want to make sure he will be comfortable too. I will be having a saddler fit it or will possibly have one made to measure.
Any advise would be much appreciated
