Shires 'Optimus Chester' Dressage Saddle

[Kenzo]

Only just come across these on a local equestrian website, has anybody seen or actually ridden in one?

I'd be interested in some feedback as I'm looking at getting my lad a dressage saddle but I don't have a lot to spend so I'd either require a second hand one, however I'd prefer getting something that I can adjust as well as he does tend to change shape quite a bit (age/season/muscle etc), I've heard good thigns about the Wintec Isabella Worth Dressage saddle but I'm not sure if the wintec range would fit my horse (as in the shape of tree not just the gullet size etc) as he needs something built on a flatter tree, like Ideal for example.

I don't know much about it but if you're looking for that kind of saddle, I can't speak highly enough of the wintec.

Ok thank, in that case I'll keep my eyes peeled for a second hand one, just could do with trying one before buying one, to see if they will lay correctly on him, as the TG saddles don't tend to.

But thanks for your feed back.
