Well here we go again, my dreaded subject of saddles!!!! One day i think i may invent a miracle saddle which solves all our saddles mis-fit problems!!!!! (here's for hoping )
Right, firstly a little update. Saddler has been out and confirmed Pilgrims 2 saddles are not fitting, and what is also good is he has said he cannot fit Pilgrim with a saddle until he has built up a bit. He has suggested a Thorowgood high wither until the spring and then we look to see if his back is strong enough. Bad news is Pilgrim is still lame
Saddler also said Riley's jump saddle is great and Udo's Dr saddle is great. Which leaves me with one missing a jump saddle and one missing a SJ!!!!!
Unfortuantly though saddler does not have a jump saddle to fit Udo, 17.2hh WB and he said he needed a wide seat area on his saddle???? I dont think he was refering to my fat arse, i think it is his broad bck .
He did bring out a jaguar DR for Riley, but i had a little look underneath at the panels when he wasnt looking and they were really wonky!!!!! So i refused to have that saddle on my horse and saddler left with a flee in his ear
So im saddle shopping. Have found some nice jaguars on ebay. I like a jump saddle with nice big knee rolls, currently using the albion Kontrol.
Anyone had experience with the new Tekna saddles???? I like the look of both of their DR and jump saddles. Also wondered about the Kent and Master's????
Im open to any suggestions, i have a Albion Kontrol (i think, the one WFP uses anyway) and a Ideal Roella, and im hoping to get 2 new saddles for the price i seel these 2 for, (maybe )
So basically, im sorry for yet another saddle post
Last problem, there are no saddle fitter in my area, is it possible i can fit them myself (used to work for a saddle fitter) but im worried incase i mess it up anyone any other suggestions as to how i can do this????
Help much appreciated, and cheese cake for anyone who hasn't yet got bored reading my posts of desperation !!!!!!!
