Saddle co saddles (again)

[lennysmith]

I'm a very lucky girly, and OH has decided to spend half of his bonus on getting Josie and I a new saddle!

I've read so much about the saddle co saddles that a lot of you have got so think I have opted for one of these.

Now for the questions. Is there a place that does them cheaper or being a small company will it be one price for all? All I want is the half leather/synthetic gp, verona is it? How much should I be looking at roughly? Also will I have to order one? I've only ever had wintecs before, saddler got one out the car, changed the gullet and off I went. Will the saddle co one be any different?

Thankies xxxx

My Saddle Co saddle cost about £550 including fitting and first check up. My local saddlery do them as they have a saddle company fitter. I think you need to find someone near you that is a saddle company fitter.
The saddle fitter came out, took measurement of my horse and sent them to the company to make the saddle. She then came back to fine tune the saddle to the horse, and then checked in again in 6 weeks.
They are specially made to fit you and the horse, and if the horse changes shape the saddle can be changed in as little as 15mins by the saddle fitter.

I've never heard anyone say that saddle company saddles are uncomfortable before. Mine is just so soft and comfortable it's devine.

I must admit I did find the leather a little slippery when I first had it but I soon got used to it and I don't bother to ride in sticky bum jods either. I adore mine and I wouldn't consider riding in any other type of saddle now.
