I'm selling bens bates momentum, I've decided to put it on ebay soon as much as it pains me, I simply need something straighter cut. Now it's a 17 and a half inch, a size I've always thought suitable for me, but since bates are generous to say the least it's huge! I've been assessing my size options and in reality I think that since I ride long most of the time and since this saddle leaves me room to spare and more, I could actually get away easily with a 16.5 inch working hunter saddle. However, I've seen a really nice 16 inch, within my budget and in a make I like (saddle company) and I'm curious:
If you ride in a 16 inch saddle, how tall are you and how long do you ride in your stirrups, long, average or short?
If you've ridden in a saddle company saddle, are they generous?
Does anyone use a 16 inch on a 15.2/3 horse that is squarely built?
I'm 5 ft 6 and I ride long in the leg, could I get away with it or would it be too much of an ask?
