Saddle company saddles

[monkeybum13]

I'm looking at buying a saddle company saddle and was just looking for opinions on them.


Thanks in advance

Awful quality for the price - mine was a waste of £600 it looks older than my GFS even though the GFS is 10 years old and the SC only a couple of years old. I am very disappointed with it and it's currently dumped in the tack room as I don't think it's sellable TBH. It is not up to serious riding at all.

I have 6 of them, one of the basic GPs, 2 x top of the range GP's and just had 2 top of the range dressage saddles made, they are all fabulous saddles and fit me and my horses perfectly, much better than my previous Albion saddles which I adore. I also have a jumping saddle but if I'm honest I dont find it comfortable due to the close contact and I like a deeper seat. I know lots of people who have bought these saddles and are very happy with them.

I had one made for my boy & mine also cost £600 its a lovely comfy saddle, but not the best I have had. Not sure I would have another to be honest. I know about 4 people that have also bought them & 3 of them wasn't happy at all. One girl on the yard ended up selling hers as she wasn't happy with it, but then I know another person who was over the moon & would have them all day long.

Two completely different opinions then!

I'm going to try it on my horse and she's a sensitive yet opinionated horse so she'll definitely let me know her opinion on the saddle

My tb has the top of the range event one made to fit him. Cost me £1100 and I love it! So comfy and he goes really nicely in it. Would def have another

I quite like the look of them - but as I've yet to see a single straight, symmetrical one, I won't put one on my horse! Plus I've had several friends have terrible problems trying to get them correctly fitted - with different fitters.

I guess my advice is to check any potential saddle closely for symmetry, and make sure to find a good fitter.

I had one of their pony saddles for a 12hh native eight years ago and was very pleased with it. My SMS fitter said they'd gone off a bit in recent years but then so has fitter so not sure what to believe! If you can find a fitter with some to try then why not give it a go and you might find they suit your horse.
