Saddle cloths

[Jo C]

Does anyone know of a dressage saddle cloth that has either a high wither with no sheepskin or a cut back wither? The ones I am using at the moment slip down and end up pressing on his withers no matter how high I pull them up or how carefully I position them? The Nuumed (sp?) ones that I can find all have sheepskin on which I really don't want. I don't really want to pay £60 for one either, not too fussy am I?

Try the Thorowgood Conform Thoroughbred Saddle cloth, thats what I use on my exracer for dressage and they have a high cut wither. Think I paid about £20 for mine.

Shires do them

I have Shires, Weatherbeeta and Jumpers Horseline ones and none of them slip down. They are all reasonably priced as well!

Nuumed do "everyday" saddlecloths and numnahs without the sheepskin in high-whither and normal, dressage or GP, for about £20.

Only thing is, the saddlecloths all have piping, but the numnahs don't!

Try Kieffer. Most of their saddles have a cut back wither so their saddlecloths are made to match.

Kieffer, Albion, Inches saddlery and Frogpool all sell nice dressage saddlecloths made of fairly stiff felt so they stay up in the gullet.
