Had a Wintec Cair one, but May was not happy in it, so have sold it and am looking for a medium 17.5/18 inch one - which of these would you say was best?

2nd is a Stubben, and 4th is a Tudor - was planning on bidding on the 4th one tonight! Then if I don't get it, go for the stubben!

Sounds like a plan
The stubben looks like it has a fair knee block on it
Some of the others look really flat- I like a big knee and deep seat, guess it depends what you like
Good luck with the bidding!

3rd one is the only one I'd consider for myself

3rd one is a Derby House one, which I also like

2 - Stubben looks a nice knee support, but note the stirrup bar on dressage saddles is set forwards.
3 and 4 look like they offer the ability to play around with stirrup lenght
First one looks as if you would have your butt way too far back. Last one I think you have to ride really long and doesnt look like there is much of a knee block.
Dunno really could be rather wrong

I hate stubbens to begin with but would particularly never consider one for dressage. Stubben made their dressage saddles as an after thought it would appear and never moved the stirrup bar backwards from the position in their jumping / hunting saddles.
Hence you'll find it pretty much impossible to ever get the correct alignment through your leg.
Just my opinion on stubben, but they really arent suitable for dressage.

Oooooh, its got to be the Derby House one, is it the Kentucky? They are so so comfy to ride in. Like a big armchair and so supportive. Dont like the Stubben or the last one, sorry but it looks like a foreign one (if you know what I mean
)

Still have'nt made my mind up, but am currently watching a couple of Ideal ones, as I borrowed one when I first bought May and it fitted very well and was really comfy!
