[crazycoloured]

I am currently looking for a saddle for a cob with no withers. Is there any saddle's you could recommend.dont mind leather or synthetic.

Depends how wide, I have had an Ideal h and C wich was good, I now have an Ideal 1350 which is fab.

I have a Fusion GP on my coloured cob. I can totally recommend them.

I currently have a thorowgood t6 on mine. It's the cob fit although my horse isnt very cobby lol! I find it very comfy, and was previously a leather snob - you can hardly tell the difference

The fusion saddles look great. I am currently using an old rhinegold saddle that has been lent to me that is synthetic which is okay but would like to get her a better saddle.but one that'l adjust with her changing shape.the current saddle i have is a wide fit but she is going to get much wider lol!

I would recommend the Ideal H+C, I had one for my cob.

The Wintec Wide is a new-ish model and fits my hairy gypsy cob who has added a new meaning to the word "wide". It is about the £350 mark brand new and comes with 4 interchangeable gullets in case the horse changes shape. Very comfortable for horse and rider and looks good too.

One of my friends has a cob and she has Black Country Saddles for him- they are beautiful saddles and fit wide cobs perfectly, very comfortable too and they will make to your requirements.

It really depends on whether your horse changes shape a lot. If not, then I would look at the Ideal H&C model, or a native pony company saddle.

If you need something adjustable, I would look at the Thorowgood cob over the wintec cob which still doesnt suit cobs in my opinion.

You could also look at saddle company saddles (which I fit) and there is a particular cob tree that would be more suitable, although if your horse is very wide then the tree will be too narrow. You could also have a look at Kieffers which are adjustable as well, but it all really depends on how wide and flat your horse's back is.

I have a Thorowgood T4 for my extremely wide highland. The wintec tree did not fit his shape at all. He will change a lot over the next couple of years so I figured it was better to have an adjustable saddle for now.

I have an Ideal saddle for my wide unreg welsh cob and I love it.

it may sound a stupid question but do the ideal saddles adjust with a youngsters changing shape.are they adjustable?

Ive got an Ideal H&C xxw on my cob and im just about to change to the new Kent and Master (thorogood) saddle as its adjustable and i can change it as my cob changes etc, ive gone for this ats its the leather version of the thorowgood cob saddle.

Treeless for me I'm afraid.

Nothing on the market accommodated his shoulders and I didn't want to have one made.

I use a Fhoenix because it looks most like a treed saddle.
