Does anyone have one of these- I know nothing about jumping saddles but have been told I need one- any info would be apprecieated!
 
I have one (Pigmalion), I liked it. The fit is very similar to a pessoa, but the knee rolls are nice and large, so its a lot more stable jumping than the pessoa.

However I am now swapping to WOW's, so my black hardly use 17" pigmalion is for sale - PM me if interested.
 
I bought a JW close contact saddle "off the shelf" and it has really hurt my horses shoulders so all I would say is make sure it is properly fitted by a professional as by their very nature close contact saddles need to fit really well or they become quite user unfriendly......
 
My daughter has just stopped using an Henri de rivel because it did not fit the horse and unfortunatley doesn't fit her other horse either. It is a lovely saddle and was brand new when she got it. It is a narrow fit and has come off an ex racehorse, who has filled out considerably since we have had her! It is a tan colour and i can let you have photos etc if you are interested. (I am not too familiar with forums.)
