Does anyone have one?
If so what are they like to ride in? Would you mind telling me what shape you are (particularly leg length!), and also what shaped horse you have one on.
I have one on order to try from my saddler but I have now got the chance to buy a nearly new one at a reduced rate. I've never ridden in one and i'm not one to take risks! Im tall and long from hip to knee so the length of the flap and block worries me a bit? and im a size 8 so normally ride in a 17inch seat (although my Barnsby is 17.5). I want something that will hold me in place as horse is big moving with a big shoulder.
Currently in a thorowgood cob saddle, so I know the Fairfax tree design should suit him as Thorowgood, Fairfax and Kent and Masters are all made by the same people.
(I also have a Kent and Masters S Series on order to try.)
Please dont suggest other saddles as I know exactly what I am looking for and i've already tried a lot of saddles and its come down to a choice between the Fairfax or Kent and Masters which I have yet to try.
