I have two for taz,

1 wintec pro dressage saddle for schooling and competing, we tend to school 4/5 days a week so its ridden in most days

1 exscelle jumping saddle, used for hacking and a little bit of jumping now as after injury jumping isnt really his strong point, but cant bear to sell it as its a cracking saddle. probably used it 2/3 times a week depending on whether im doing work for a dressage comp or a jumping one in that week.

One, and that's only because I managed to nab one at a crazy price. Otherwise it would be none and bareback riding would resume :p

Too many, but to be fair most go on my others too and have been 'collected' from previous horses and I daren't get rid!
1 kentaur jump saddle, 1 old race exercise saddle, 1 smart race saddle -kindly given to me by an owner, 1 old-fashioned show saddle. See ^ far too many! Though to be fair we mainly use the old exercise one.

One Tekna jump saddle, and one county dressage. Each used for their intended purpose and both picked up for very good prices :D

Currently four! She changes shape a lot

An 18" synthetic GP that I can change the gullet myself

A 17½" Bates Olympia GP

An 18" Suede seat Dressage saddle of unknown origin

My pride and joy a very old Turf & Travel 'Fulmer' dressage saddle in awesome condition. Bought for sentimental reasons. Saddler who made it owned the yard I trained at. Sits the rider really beautifully - just need something narrow enough to wear it.

The three ridden horses have one saddle each - Reactorpanels. However as I tend to be a bit of a hoarder, I've also got a traditional Arabian saddle, a Portuguese saddle, an old Black Country saddle with a broken tree which I can't bear to part with because it belonged to my first ever horse, sadly now in horsey heaven (tree wasn't broken when it was in use of course!), and a synthetic kids cub saddle for my young niece. These other saddles don't actually belong to any of my horses!

I just have the one for the two of them-an Albion gp but I have 2 saddles at home i need to sell as have no use for. Will eventually swap the gp for a jump and buy a dressage saddle but don't want to whilst the baby is still changing shape

One Ideal Event fitted by a Master Saddler that doesn't fit.

One ancient-but-lovely saddle borrowed from a friend that fitted until recently.

Soon-to-be one working hunter saddle, brand new and properly fitted.

Once I know what size he needs, I'll also be keeping an eye out for a second hand Albion / Jeffries / Geo Parker second hand dressage saddle (all makes that seem to suit him) and get that fitted too.

Anyone want to buy an Ideal Event? :D (joke, not actual advertising - can't make up my mind if it's a bigger waste selling for an inevitable big loss, or having it just sit there uselessly!)

4 (and a half) :O

Got a tan jumping saddle
Then realised as he's bay I shouldn't really show in tan, and was too scared to do dressage in it! So bought a very dark brown vsd
Got the dressage bug, bought a synthetic, then saw an amerigo at a very good price :D

And the half is a sidesaddle we have on loan =]

I have 2. One is a GP Wintec which my daughter uses for jumping, the other is an Albion Royale Platinum Dressage saddle which I use not only for dressage but hacking out, I love it.
