Do you find it difficult to find saddles that fit both you and the horse?
Beau came with a 17.5" dressage saddle, which fit him at the time, however he has filled out considerably, and has grown height wise, and he now makes it look like a pony saddle!
He hasnt been ridden for a few months, so dont worry Im not riding him in this saddle, pic below just taken to show just how tiny it looks on him, and the fact it wont even sit against his back! (OH put it on lol, hence it being so far forward, one good reason why he isnt allowed to tack up yet!
)
He has totally outgown the saddle in every way, Im hopefully going to get the go ahead to ride him again this week, but I need a new saddle!
I think he could do with an 18" x wide, but I would be lost in a seat that big! Fine for OH as he is 6ft 4, but Im only about 8stones, 5ft 5, size 10.
So Im wondering what other people in my position have done, or if you can recommend any suitable saddles?
I am starting to think a WOW might be the only option, BUT, my OH rides him too, so if i get the WOW made to fit me, what will he ride with?
