Hi all, I have an ever growing ID/Welsh D who is 5 in April. He is prone to sudden and massive growth spurts and has just outgrown his 5th saddle over the last year. I need a new saddle for him now, but until I know he's stopped growing I don't want to spend masses if I can avoid it!
So I'm after suggestions as to which make/models any of you with a similar shape horse have found to be good?
He is definitely a wide fit, but he's flattish over the back but not a leg stretcher, if that makes any sense! (my older horse is a medium width but takes up much more leg and a longer girth).
His last saddle was an Ideal Event, medium wide, which fitted for about three months, to give you some idea of what his size is like.
I'm not keen on Wintecs, have liked some Thorogoods, like a deep seat and plenty of knee/thigh roll!
So any suggestions most gratefully received!
