Ride on waterproof saddle cover recommendations

[Muddywellies]

Can anyone please recommend a ride on saddle cover. Need WIDE slots for stirrups so I don't need to take the off to fit the cover (so the stirrups pop straight through the slot). I don't like the Le Mieux one with the silicone. Dressage shaped. I already have a Spartan one but the holes are small and I'm fed up with removing and reattaching stirrups ?

I’ve just bought a shires one and so far so good!

Does that have wide holes so that you don't need to take the stirrups off?

Oh I didn’t realise you could get ones with wide slots for stirrups! The shires one has small slots so stirrups have to be taken off each time which is a pain!

I found someone on ebay making hi viz ones and bought a couple for my GP saddles. They were pretty good! I reckon she could make you one with wide stirrup slots. Have a look on ebay.

Mine has wide slots & was off ebay so worth a scout about on there.

I used to use one until I realised it had a catapult effect when I landed some distance from the horse after an unrequested emergency stop

What for? I'd really be concerned this makes the saddle more slippery and less secure (and surely your bottom wetter when it rains??). Just clean the saddle properly if it gets wet, or get a suitable coat that covers most of the saddle anyway?
