I am looking at getting a new saddle for my 4 year old pba. I am looking for a saddle with an adjustable tree as he is still growing and would like a saddle where I can put the stirrups further back for doing dressage too. I am always having to put my leg back when schooling because of the stirrup position. Would only like one saddle that I could use for schooling and faster/jumping work eventually. Thinking about a wow saddle as you can adjust the stirrup bar. Also looked into fne saddles but don't like the mixed reviews.
Has anybody any other suggestions?
 
Very few saddles have an adjustable stirrup bar, they are very difficult to use for makers, the ratchet ones are bulky and riders don't tend to like them, and the Wow one is very large and best attached to their carbon fibre tree. Yu will struggle to get something that ticks all your boxes unless you stump up for a Wow, no other changeable headplate saddle has adjustable stirrup bars that I know of.
 
Worth speaking to the makers of Style saddles - http://www.style-equestrian.co.uk/ - and no I am not a seller nor do I have one but a couple of my friends do and they are extremely light weight. I don't think they will have exactly what you want but they design their own and I know their xc has adjustable stirrup bars so discussions could be had. They are not that expensive either for a new saddle!!!
 
Almost any bench made saddle maker can make a saddle for you with an adjustable stirrup bar, but they are very unlikely to have changeable headplates which are only available on synthetic trees, most bench made saddles are on traditional wooden trees.
