didnt realise choosing a numnah would be so hard!

Been riding in western tack for years, but have just bought new english saddles for 2 of my horses, just need to get a numnah now for them but there are soooo many!
Fleece lined, padded, sheepskin, high wither, non slip,thick ones, thin ones & the list goes on!

I want a simple numnah that wont rub if i choose to ride my horse for a few hours trail riding in the english saddle, and look good enough for the odd competition & of course not break the bank.

Think its going to have to be a thin one as i dont want my new fitted saddle on top of a huge thick numnah.

Are there any benefits to a sheepskin one as opposed to a normal one?
Any recomendations for makes etc.

I really like the Griffin hi-wither saddlecloths with half wool lining as not so bulky as some of the sheepskin ones.
And like the fact they never pull down on the wither

Thanks Jacksmum, will have a look at those.
Another question, i have 17.5" saddles, presuming this is going to be a full size numnah?

I also like the half sheepskin...I have a Mattes one. Never moves, not too bulky, well shaped.
