Hi I’ve recently purchased a 14’1 Connemara pony she came with a synthetic saddle that moves a lot and I do not like. I had a local saddle fitter out last week who sold me a 17” W saddle I did question was this not to Long and was assured it was fine and fitted her fine. I am not clued up on saddles at all hence why I paid a saddle fitter to come out and fit her. I’ve rode her 3 times since purchasing the saddle and it just doesn’t feel right at all it moves and when I’ve done the finger test I can fit my whole hand in. I have asked for a few ppls opionons on the yard and all have said the saddle does not fit her and are shocked this has been sold by a “saddle fitter” I have rang them and explained and I have requested a full refund and to return the saddle. To which she seemed shocked snd said it does fit her ??
Now my question is where do I go from here. I rang a saddle fitter in the first place for guidance and assurance of what best fitted my pony and her requirements. I now feel stuck on what to do next, do I look for one myself or try and find another saddler fitter. Can anyone reccomend any types of saddle best for native breeds that would suit her. I was thinking more of a 16.5 neat seat WH or VSD she is flat backed pics of her and the saddle purchased through saddle fitter are attached. Any advice would really be appreciated
