Saddle fitting......

[georgiegirl2]

I really need to get twig a gp/jump saddle as she is now ready to start doing a bit of jumping and to be honest my legs hurt in my dressage one when im out hacking for a while. Trouble is I know she is going to change shape so much so getting a new one fitted for her is out of the question really (as well as outside my current bank balance) does anyone have any suggestions? I do know she is approx a narrow/medium and have seen some nice looking ones on ebay, I'm just worried about buying something, having it arrive and then not fitting

get a saddle fitter out & see which makes fit her best as not all saddles come up the same.

if you can not buy from them then place a ad in the tack shop etc for the make you want

Go to rideaway and get LOADS to try, you just leave your credit card details, tahts it!
They had a nice ideal event with flair in there a while ago.

I would have a look at The saddle company saddles. They are fully adjustable. New are around 500, but they often pop up on ebay. I have had a GP one, a close contact, and I now have an event model which is absolutley fantastic. I found the GP not forward cut enough, the CC was too flat, the event is just spot on.

I have the Verona type which is a mix of leather and synthetic. The panels are serge and they are very kind to the horses back.
