Ideal "wide fit" style saddles?

[merry mischief]

Anyone got one of the above? Any thoughts on suitability for a xx wide traddy cob? X

It's a h&c model btw.

I have one and love it for my girl, she is a I/D X T/B and my saddle fitter says she would be a M & S extra wide bless

I've got one for my very wide shouldered (XXW) cob. I love it. Its a beautiful saddle. I bought mine second hand and I love it so much I now want to buy a brand new one for him.

As mine is older I had to get point and balance straps added - I think they come with them as standard now?

Have the same problem. 16 hh ID X TB mare and it's a nightmare. Current saddle is a wintec with X wide gullet. V wide and cheap! Good luck

Love my ideal saddle. After years of trying, and several 'highly recommended' saddle fitters I couldn't get a saddle which I felt 100% happy with the fit. Finally I found a saddle fitter who understood my problem and got me a custom made ideal saddle where the tree was made between sizes so it fitted much better. Expensive but well worth it.

I've got a 17" wide fit Ideal VSD for sale if anyone would be interested?

Its only been used once so in new condition, black and a complete bargain for £500
