I am looking for a deep seated GP saddle my Hawk event saddle no longer fits and I am looking for somthing with a deeper seat I am just a happy hacker so need something comfortable any recommendations please.
 
I loved my Lovatt & Ricketts event saddle,quite deep and very comfy. Sadly they don't seem to make them anymore. I've now decided to go for a dressage saddle as the L&R doesn't fit my new mare.

Don't suppose you'd be interested? (bit cheeky I know!)
 
Stubben? I know some people here think they're the spawn of the devil but that's not a universal view and there are horses competing at the top levels in them. The bonus is there are loads of older ones around very reasonably priced and they take a knocking and last forever. Downside is they aren't the most cushioned saddle in the world but a seat saver can solve that easily. :)

Have you had a look at the synthetic options? They're a different breed now and some are very comfortable. I'm not implying you want to go "cheap" but there's a lot to be said for a saddle that's easy to look after!
 
i tried loads of saddles and those which fitted my horse didnt make me feel safe, i then tried a cliff barnsby, great!!!! a soft seat as well as feeling very secure and comfy... best gp i have ever had...:D:D
 
As it happens the Barnsby saddle fitter is coming out next Thursday Feel a pinch to the bank balance coming on !!

Lovett and Ricketts also been recommend but again dont seem to get hold of them

Thanks all for your suggestions.
 
I have a kent and masters HIGH WITHER GP which as the deepest seat out of all the saddles I tried... pretty comfortable... just a shame I haven't had the chance to ride in it since I tried it to buy! Typical bloomin horse went and got kicked the night I bought it!!
