Currently on hunt for a new saddle for Fleur as she has changed shape.
Thankfully I have a good eye for a saddle so can do the basic ground work of finding one myself, just getting saddler to check over and adjust flocking as necessary.
Problem is the shape she has changed to I am currently stuck for ideas, and I know if I ring saddler he will suggest he brings some along which are twice my budget so not getting me very far very fast. (If you handle him right he great but he a saddler so he likes to sell saddles where ever possible
)
Anyway she has at moment an Albion selecta and a wintec isabell. Both although correct width wise now sit off her back slightly behind as the tree is too curved. I am therefore on the hunt for new saddles but budget means they have to be 2nd hand.
I have exhausted all the 2nd hand saddles at a different local saddler but the only one that fitted Fleur a "Hunter" GP didn't fit me (typical), it also confirmed no Albions no matter how much I want them to are going to fit.
So need more suggestions for saddle brands suitable for a fairly flat backed WB (but has a wither!) as to be honest although I have a good eye for a saddle once on the horses' back I don't know the tree shapes of the various brands unless I've owned one!
Ideas appreciated
