Saddles for Spanish Horses

[collins]

Has anybody got any ideas what type of dressage saddle would fit a young Andalusian? Not had much luck so far. An Albion SLK would fit him with some alterations to the flocking. Had also thought about a WOW. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I struggled with my youngster, in the end I used something I NEVER thought I would, a Wintec!!! V comfortable, lightweight and fitted a treat....

No way would I have personally put a WOW on him, would have been too heavy IMO (with my weight on top too!!!)

A friend recently treated herself to a Strada for her PRE, after struggling to find anything to fit her mare.

I would reccomend something like a wintec or a saddle with an adjustible gullet so that as the horse changes shape you can change the saddle. Then once the horse has matured you can splash out on something like an albion.

p.s Weezy, I want your horse!!! Stunning!

Amerigo do one which is specially designed for an Andalusian's back. Have a look on their website.

I'm with Weezy, I've got a Wintec Dressage Pro on mine.

My friend has a WOW saddle for her Andy, made a huge difference to his way of going too! He's now winning elementary BD.

Got PRE myself and use Wintec Isabell Werth, Kieffer and with the younger we used a Barefoot London a little while then onto the treed saddles.
Zaldi also do some great saddles.

I also really like the Classica saddles, but not very commerical over here for dressage!
