Hullo all,
I have now found G a saddle for showing - I picked up an Albion Legend VSD for a good price which is perfect, so I'm very happy.
I now need to sort out what he is going to wear under it.
I have been looking at the Le Mieux showing numnahs - probably in the WH shape for this saddle - and can't decide to go for one of those, which might be limited for other use, or perhaps try a merino Le Mieux full Monty - which are pretty expensive (did save some money on the saddle though!). I have looked at the nuumed WH full pad which looks ok and is reasonable (£65), but have read on other threads that the Le Mieux is far better quality and less seams for rubbing.
Have also thought about Courtlea hand made ones, but again, are they much use for anything other than showing, as I do more jumping and dressage than the former!
Also colour - pretty much black horse and saddle is v dark brown/black, so black seems to be the way to go.
Any girth recommendations too?
Phew,
Thanks all!
