Saddle recommendations please

[M_G]

What saddle/saddles are best for a very high withered Warmblood, either Dressage or GP?

ps he also has to build up lots of muscle

Thank you

Ideal, imho.

I do love Ideal and am currently drooling over one on ebay, I was worried it may not be high enough over his withers however I can now place a bid

Thank you so much

a good saddler should be able to adjust the flocking, or you could send it back to Ideal with a template if it needs different shaped panels, for example. my high-withered mare's in 2 Ideal saddles which have a front gusset in the panels to make the saddle sit on the top of her ribs, your horse might need something similar.

Thanks again you have put my mind at rest & a bid has been placed. it will be a gp for now then I hope to add a dressage one later

I have a black country saddle for my high-withered trakehner. It took a lot of searching to find one that would fit but eventually my saddler found this black country one that is designed for high-withered horses. She did have to re-flock it but now it fits well. I bought it second-hand for £475.
Have a look at their website - I find mine very comfy.
Good luck!
