Hiya
Hoping some of you knowlegable people will be able to give some advice on this. I would like to buy a dressage saddle but have a limited budget for one at the moment. I have heard some positive things about the Isabelle Worth dressage saddle for being comfortable and putting you in a good position. There are a few on ebay which seem to make good money but I have heard somewhere that the flocked ones are better than the Cair ones, can anyone confirm this from personal experience or are the cair ones as good? There seems to be more Cair ones available than Flock, is this because people get rid of them? Also can anyone explain what if any the problems are with them.
Also has anyone bought one second hand with a medium gusset and changed it for a wider one with success, how easy is this to do? What does the fit tend to be like, Ted wears a medium wide Albion K2 jumping saddle at the moment so just wondering if the Dressage saddles come up wide or narrow, never used a synthetic saddle before!
Sorry for all the questions, i just want to make sure i buy something decent or can at least sell it again easily if it doesn't fit.
Other suggestions for reasonably priced, comfortable dressage saddles which aid good position would be appreciated and considered - what do you all have??
Many thanks in advance and sorry for long winded post!
