I'm wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of a saddle that may be suitable for my chunky mare.
My mare is 15hh cob x tb, has a large shoulder, short back, and a small wither. She can only take a 17inch saddle.
Currently I have a farrington gp, which I don't like (to the amazement of the saddler.) I'll persevere with it as it fits my mare very well, and she's comfortable in it, I'd much rather she be comfortable than me. However in the long term I'd like something that's better for me to jump in. I'm not that tall, only 5"5/6 buit have rather long legs and don't particularly like jumping in the farrington.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or something to look in to.
She had a jeffires with her last owner although I'm now guessing it was a gp.
Also a dressage saddle.
Ive spoke to the saddler, she's informed me she will be a rather difficult fit, and may not get a jump on her, didn't ask about a more forward cut gp though. She also said I may find it difficult to get a stressage saddle due to needing a 17 inch.
Maybe a bit of a pointless thread but any ideas would be appreciated.
