saddle advice please?

[kateknights]

I am looking at getting a leather saddle, I currently have a wintec with changeable gullet which has been fab since I have had my horse for the last year and got her fit so had the saddle adjusted twice.
Now then I am looking at a leather saddle which make is Newby from Walsall, has anyone heard of this make? all comments most welcome good or bad please as don't want to make a mistake.
Thanks in advance

Can't say I've heard of that exact make but Walsall saddles are excellent, the area is famed the world over for its saddles. Has it been recommended to you by a saddler or are you looking at ads/online? I'd usually go with a (trusted) saddlers recommendation.

I used to have a wintec saddle. It was comfy for me to start with but I soon realised it was too narrow for my horse. SO i just got a friend of mine out who's a saddler and she brought down some Gps saddles? I think that's what they were called, as they have a high cantle and a deep seat - which is what i wanted. We tried a few on and the ones that fitted the horse I rode in and i pick one out and i love it - so comfy and wider for the horse. I couldn't suggest any makes I'm afraid, but if you have the money I would get a fitted one by a saddler.
