Opinions On GFS Genesis Saddle?

[ImmyS]

Looking at getting one of these as a temporary measure for my ever changing tb so opinions would be very helpful

Thank you

Love mine - a really comfy saddle. I'm not using it atm, as I've got to change the gullet (Wintec ones can be used), or rather hubs has - and I have to catch him in the right mood to ask him to do it. They are a bit of a nightmare

Thank you, got my eye on one on ebay!

Yep love mine too, got it as 'my' saddle for my daughters mare as i can't ride in daughters jump saddle, has proved a godsend actually as rather fat mare hasn't fitted in her own leather saddle since June this year........

Love it! I just got mine last month. They are designed similiar to wintec but much more quality. Really comfy and smart.

Thanks, all sounds really positive!

I got mine as an ebay bargain for £100 - definitely go for it !

I want to, do you think it would be suitable for a tb with highish withers?

 

[Shysmum]

yes, you can change the gullets, from narrow to extra wide.

Sounds perfect, right, need to talk to mum tonight, she agreed to look for a saddle after Christmas but the saddle runs out on ebay this evening so don't want to miss out on it! thank you

what about ringing GFS themselves just to check ??

Definitely worth seeing what they say.

Mine TB has slightly high withers and it fits a treat as you can still flock and alter panels to suit. Mine is now on OH's cob while my Ned is on box rest and I am torn between getting another or something else but swaying to getting another again.

I went for the all over micro suede (APX) and I'm pleased I did as it looks gorgeous and is super easy to keep clean. Plus it wears well! Had mine 2 years and it almost looks as good as new with a lot of mistreating...

Thank you, sounds fab, my girl has high withers but not huge! and would defo have it fitted too her. Just need to persuade the parents now, although I would be paying they sometimes don't understand when C 'needs' something new!
