I shall not bore you with the whole fiasco, but long story short, I want a nice forward cut jump saddle for my mare who apparently has huge shoulders.
The saddlers visited 3wks ago and took away the jump saddle a fitter (from the same company) had templated for us. I had felt it had been tipping me forwards and our physio had identified ongoing muscle tension surrounding the scapulae.
At the last visit the saddler scratched his head a lot as to how he would fit something forward cut when she has big shoulders which appear to push everything back.
In the end I felt a bit like I was being persuaded to get a gp saddle, which I don't really want for me, but will get if that is the only thing that is going to work for my horse.
I need all the help I can get as my mare jumps big, and although I'm only 5'5" I like to ride short. Saddler says I don't need a jump saddle until I'm at BE novice, which is never going to happen...!
My question is, has anyone experience of this, and how did you remedy?
Thanks
