[Solstar]

anyone got one?

im looking at the close contact jumping version for Solo, my TB.
boss is coming on monday to see ifone would fit him, as there is one at work- it seems lovely.

any opinions of them?

thanks.

i have the nobility one or something resembling that, and it was the only saddle to properly fit my horse! (pb. tb)

i like them, mine is very comfy

I used to have a collegiate "Convertible" saddle and I hated it. I didn't like the lack of knee rolls and the saddler fitted it too short for me so it tilted me forewards and it didn't sit right on my TB. However it wasn't correctly fitted and knee rolls are just a personal preferance of mine. I have ridden in a lovely one that was correctly fitted (it was my friends horse) and I loved it.

ooh, ok.

I like the CC because of the lack of knee rolls- I dont like big knee rolls, I personally find them quite restrictive, but I do ride short- years of riding naughty, bucky ponies!
