As per the title really. Have just bought a new big moving warmblood who's still quite green. He's generally pretty sensible but has thrown a couple of big spooks in the short time I've had him.
Saddler has temporarily lent me a Bates dressage saddle which has massive blocks. I'm pretty sure the blocks may have saved me each time.
So now I'm torn. Neither my instructor or I like blocks and I was planning to buy a dressage saddle without. I'm reasonably experienced and can generally sit things. However, now I'm doubting myself and wondering if I'd have been put the side door without the blocks.
Thoughts and experiences gratefully received
