Hi
I am thinking about getting a synthetic dressage saddle (it will be a second saddle so can't afford to spend a fortune). The main features I am looking for in the saddle are:
-Stirrup bars far enough back to put your leg underneath you
-A reasonable sized knee roll for security and to keep the leg back.

I am particularly interested in opinions on the thorowgood range (T4/T6), Wintec pro/Isabelle and the new Genesis GFS synthetic dressage saddle. Also, if you have pics of any of these on your horse I would be very interested to see them. Thanks in advance..
 
I have a wintec isabel and it does both the things you mention incredibly well

thanks for your replies..is the T6 the same as the T4 apart from the type of material used? What is the knee roll/stirrup bar like on the T6 does it put your leg right underneath you? Lots of votes for the Isabel too then!
 
I have just got a Thorowgood T6 and am really pleased with it. i couldn't afford a leather one, but this seems great so far (only had it a week!). The difference in my position is really noticeable, my legs feel much more underneath me, the knee rolls are good and make you feel secure but aren't stupidly big like on some saddles. Def recommend it!
