I desperately need a new jumping saddle for tall, narrow TB with a huge wither. Nothing I have tried so far has come close to fitting. What are some brands that may be worth trying? I don't want Bates/Wintec as I don't like those saddles at all and they don't 'fit' me. Other than that, any ideas welcome! I'm stumped...
 
Why don't they fit -?

How about Stubben - fits me with long legs and I feel very secure - hard seats though.
 
Try a Prestige Gold Star, although expensive they are completely adjustable and made for your horse. Manufactured to a template,taken from your horse, in Italy and can be adjusted if neddy changes shape in UK for about £70.
 
Thanks for the link!

And I can't ride in Bates/Wintec saddles. I find them too wide for me (to the point where it is painful to ride in some for too long), and they put me in a compromised position so I can't ride effectively. But I know they are very well suited to other people!

I also have long legs, so will definitely consider Stubben!!!
 
See prestige Golden Star here -

I dont think that they are expensive - most jumping saddles are over £1000 now

I have the moveable jumping and dressage but use jumping for everyhing unless doing BD as i'm lazy!! Have loads of friends with them who only bought jumping as just change stirrup bars- they think thats fine. I only struggle as I'm 5'11 so useful having the option.
What do you have?
 
I have a K2 jumping saddle, its a fantastic saddle which fits on practically every horse its been on. However I do find it wide. The horse I rode in the summer had a wintec jumping saddle and I feel that the K2 is wider but it is worth a try.
 
Albion Kontrol. We had a problem fitting our TB (but he does take a Medium-wide). We settled on the Kontrol Deep-Straight cut - not as forward cut as the more xc version. It's very comfy and fits well!
 
we have a henri de rivel it is smashing we bought it off EbAy!!! but EbAy can not alwalys be reliable unless you no the real size of you horse/pony

Well hello there Sunsation

I am hoping to get my new saddle on the 8th JAN yay!!!

Hopefully a pessoa will fit your boy. Wouldn't it be funny if ONLY a pessoa fitted right. Ahhh that would be rather cool.

GOOD LUCK!
