in particular the Meridian one?

any experiences with them? im looking at them for Rio as I don't get on with my current dressage saddle and when we looked at GP saddles they all come up too long as in a GP he can only take a 16.5inch seat at most but they tend to come with short flaps and as he has a very deep chest it would look silly and would be uncomfortable for me also my bum isnt too big for them but i feel more comfortable in a 17inch :o

He can take a slightly larger seat in a dressage saddle as they sit differently and aren't forced back by his massive shoulders!

So, any experiences? I know Harry Dabbs also make Jaguar saddles so if anyone has had one of those it would be good to hear a review!

I have sat in it and i felt 100% better in it than i do in my black country but i just want to hear what other people think of them before i spend £1400 on a saddle!
 
I tried a HD dressage, horse hated it and refused point blankly to move forwards, primarily into canter. Saddler tried to suggest it was my riding, and tried to give me tips on improving it, but I insisted I knew my horse, swapped to a Barnsby and suddenly, happy ponio willing to move forwards again.
