Fairfax Gareth Dressage Saddle

[Fun Times]

Am having my bi-annual saddle crisis. I have got a saddler coming next week with a bunch of leather to hurl at the horse in hopes something works, but the Fairfax Gareth is looking a possible option. Its not a saddle I had heard about previously and am struggling to find any independent reviews on line (althought I have read all the marketing stuff). Does anyone have any experience of this saddle? Its supposed to be different from the standard Fairfax monoflap and I have watched the Gareth Hughes video talking about its development. But I could do with some independent feedback from "normal" people if poss😉

I bought one for the horse I bought in the spring .
I think it's a fantasic saddle .
So easy to sit in ,light and the horse goes very well in it .

Thanks Goldenstar, thats a relief to hear! Do you feel quite "stable" in it? I am weak through my core following spinal surgery and really need a bit more support than is perhaps the norm. Am fed up of fighting with saddles that want to shove me into the wrong position.

Very stable from the moment the horse moved in it felt right .

Brilliant, much appreciate your responses. Fingers crossed it fits my horse nicely!
