Ideal Susannah recommendations

Just seen the saddler - explained what i wanted and he thinks an Ideal Susannah would suit me. Anyone had one of these and what did you think. Just thought I'd ask before I fork out for one!!!

I have one, got it about two months ago and love it. Have seen quite a few people with them and not heard one bad comment.

Apparently my saddler has supplied lots - a girl on my yard has one so i'm gonna ask her if i can have a look. He has also just taken another order for one and rattled off a whole list of people who have them so I will ask around.

i've got one on order now, it's a lovely saddle. however, i really do think you need to ride in one, and a few other types, before ordering... i rode in about 5 dressage saddles when i took the mare to the saddler's, before deciding on that one. for e.g. the Ideal Roella is similar but with a narrower twist (for petite riders, or just those who prefer the narrow twist feel). for me, the Susannah felt fantastic, as if it had been made exactly for me, my shape, and my leg position and style of riding.
really really try to have a sit in a few different ones first if you can, it's a lot of money if it's not perfect for you!

utterly loved mine, unfrotuantley the tree doesn't suit my new boy so have had to switch to the elizabeth which is nice but not as nice for me.

True do sit in them as I originally liked the Roella but when he brought it out for me and I sat in the Suzannah again I changed my mind and I am very petite.

Got one, love it! Nicest saddle I've ever had the pleasure to ride in.

I have it - mine arrived a few weeks ago and im totally in love with it and cant ride enough!!!!

I found the knees blocks although big and reallt comfy and it just sits you in the most perect position.

I like the Ideal Susannah and Jessica although I haven't got one.
