She is a little rotund (sp?) with a big shoulder. Will be used mainly for jumping. I have 2 jumping saddles, none of which fit.

Not sure our new lad is an extra wide cob an he went for a saddle fitting at rideaway yesterday only thing we could find was a extra large fitting priced at £913.50 so doubt that is much help.

Im so glad i only loan and dont have to pay for stuff like saddles

use the david ahn pad with one of the saddles you have. will make it fit perfect and it won't budge. the pad also acts like a shock absorber

nelliefinelli,
I'd be interested to hear a bit more about you SC jumping one. what are the knee and thigh blocks like, does it offer good support?
How does it compare to other jumping saddles on the market?
Cheers
