Saddle ideas for flat withered DWB

[casey2312]

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.

Dont want anything too expensive, any idea's?

Thank you

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

see if you can get hold of an old fashion stubben was the only thing that would stay put on my chunky DWB with no wither.

Have same shaped horse - currently using saddle company close contact - good budget saddle!

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

I have a Polish Warmblood who has very low wthers and a wide back i am using a Thorowgood T6 GP and Dressage both of whick fit like a glove, and good price, maybe woth a look

Won't help budget wise, but a pessoa fits my hanverian cross with no withers very well!

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

i use my steven whittaker close contact jumping saddle (the ones ellen uses) on everything it fits aboslutely every horse i have ever out it on no joke
they are quite expensive but worth the money if you ever have any spare cash

used to ride at trainers yard he had the same saddles and they fitted all 24 of his horses!! and they weren't being ill fitted they actually did fit would deffinately recomend them there comfy too
