Jump Saddles

I hope this is the right place to post this!

I am almost at my wits end with saddles and saddle fitting. I am after a jump saddle.

Currently we have a thorowgood cob gp saddle on trial, which fits him beautifully, however is no where near forward cut enough for me and my cursed long legs. (I need a 17.5" jump saddle, ideally an 18") I was wondering if anyone knew of any jump saddles that are similar to the thorowgood cob (that won't break the bank -I'm a student so custom isn't an option)

He fits wintecs and bates fairly decently, however not as well as he fits the thorowgood. I had him in an old albion dressage saddle (SLK High head) which fit him really nicely, however I can't compete showjumping in a dressage saddle.

Thorowgood make a jump saddle- that might be worth trying?

Yes, I would try the Thorowgood jumping saddle. I've also seen some fairly priced used Albion jump saddles out there. Maybe you can find one with a trial period if the Thorowgood option doesn't work.
