Hello,
Rapidly coming to the conclusion that my GP saddle does nothing for me in terms of my dressage position (Im reasonably tall with long thigh bones, current saddle gives me an enforced chair position, and feels like Im constantly being thrown off balance). An absolute genius of a friend said it looked like the stirrup bars were too far forward for me. After reading up a bit, I think she may be right.
Current saddle is a 17.5 Thorowgood T8 anatomical GP saddle. Currently fitted with a NM gullet plate, but he has changed shape several times since I bought him in June, so I think buying one that wasnt adjustable would be counter-productive.
Hes a 16.3HH Warmblood cross, age 16 if that helps.
All suggestions gratefully received.
