Please does anybody (ideally but not necessarily in the South East) have a sidesaddle for hire which may fit a 16.2ish ID X? I think his dressage saddle is a 17.5 inch medium fit.

I know somebody who has kindly offered to try their saddle after the Nationals but I would love to hear from anybody else who might be able to help as well because I remember with my own horse we tried about five before we found a good fit! This time round it is for a share horse and unfortunately I don't have any horse transport at the moment otherwise I would take him to one of two people I know who have a number of saddles for hire.

If I were to hire a sidesaddle/borrow it to try on I would of course arrange insurance and take great care of it - I know how valuable they are and how difficult to replace! I competed for several years sidesaddle before uni and would really love to practice and perhaps compete at very local shows for now until I am in a position to go out competing again one day! :)

Thanks

Thank you! I had thought of trying one of those however I imagine that the people I know hiring saddles as a business might be less inclined to let me borrow one to try on etc (in the past I would have transported horse to them) whereas if a kind poster on here had one they didn't currently use it might be a bit different. I have spoken to a couple of people who may help. Thanks for the links though :)
