Recommend a saddle for a TB type

Yup another vote for saddle company here, i have a dressgae one that i have had for about 4 years on my cob and have never had any complants about it i even fly round 3 ft cross counrty courses in it it's lovely, i had one made for my very high withered tb in nov and although it fits him lovley, it's not the right seat for my bum so am selling it and starting with a clean slate, it's not a problem with the saddle it's the shape of me bum

I had a made to measure Hastilow made and couldn't have been more pleased with it. Nothing else would fit and Ian was amazing fitting it and taking measurements etc - it didn't even brake the bank - only problem is it doesn't fit anything else so can't even sell it now beatie is no longer with us.
 
I have a kings on my lad, and I chalenge anyone to have a horse with bigger withers than his!!!!!
It is the most comfortable saddle I have rode in. Its a GP bit it is cut more towards the dressage flaps, I got an 18inch that allows me to get back in it though so I feel very secure jumping in it.
Oscar has massive withers and as well as them being big, they have also got delicate skin on then that can take no trauma, he was abused before I got him and his last owner rode hin in a saddle that not only sat on his withers, but cut in. The skin will never get to full strength again.
I use a hi- wither numnah and my saddler flocked my kings pannels to fill in where he had little muscle, have it checked and redone every six months and he has developed a lot of muscle on his top line, so he must be comfortable in it, he works well on the flat and it never moves when we jump, despite the fact he is bonkers over fences!
 
I'm waiting for a Albion K2 VSD to be delivered as recommended by my respected fitter for my high-withered, dippy backed pony with muscle wastage if that helps??

This was recommended over several others including Ideal.

Ask me in six months time I'm happy with it..
