Hello all!

I finally have the opportunity to buy a John Whitaker saddle for my pony! Either the Ultimate Close Contact or the Young Rider one. Basically, if you have one, what breed/build is your horse?? I don't actually know what breed my pony is...she's looks like a Connemara type I think (well, she's a dappled grey haha:D)? She's delfinatly not heavy build! The ones I am interested in are a bargain price, so if it won't fit her I suppose I can just sell it and buy another make that will! I will be getting a saddle fitter out to check it before I use it obviously! She is currently in a wide gullet in her T4 thorowgood. So yeah, give your opinions on how you have found them and what type horses you use them on...and what breeds won't fit them!

Thank you!!?;)
 
I've always found them very tight. They can suit narrow shouldered warmblood / TB types but they are not my first choice for a good jump saddle I'm afraid. Pessoa Legacy or Albion K2's would be my first choices - and I'm afraid a whittaker is quite a long way down the list.
