Stubben or Prestige?

[Hampshire]

Does anyone have experience of either makes ?

I am looking at a Stubben Romanus GP saddle or a Prestige Eventing Saddle for my 16.2 TB and I can't decide ....

Well they're both good makes, and whichever you choose will last for years and years. It's personal preference really. I've ridden in Prestige saddles, and they are incredibly comfortable. Personally, I'd probably pick the Prestige over the Stubben.

i have a stubben that i LOVE but lots of ppl have sat on it and gone ooh thats uncomfortable !........so maybe a prestige !!

I haven't had a stubben for years so I can't comment on the quality of those produced nowadays, but the 'old' stubben's are fabulous saddles, very well made and usually extremely horse friendly in cut. I have never found them uncomfortable to ride in either.

The Romanus is lovely, but the seat is, ahem, not very padded So you either need to grow your own padding or have a hard bum. Prestige are lovely and comfy all round.
I found Stubbens to fit more horses easily than Prestige - hmmm, not much help am I?
