Thorowgood dressage saddle? Vs. the wintec dressage saddles?

[floradora09]

Still on the hunt for a cheap dressage saddle as a 2nd saddle! I love the look of the thorowgood, what are your thoughts? It looks a bit more deep-seated than the cheaper wintec models

I have a thorowgood dressage saddle for my cob and love it. It puts you in a good postion and is fine for hacking in too. Really love it.

I liked my Thorowgood dressage saddle, don't have it now as horse grew out of it width wise. I've only ridden in a Wintec saddle (GP not dressage) on someone else's horse and found it very uncomfortable, mind you it was a few years old.
After all the waffling (sorry) my vote is for the Thorowgood!

Thanks! The cheaper wintecs just dont look very deep seated, whereas this looks a lot nicer to ride in.

Any other opinions from anyone else? xxxx

I found mine shoved me forward that was a t4 hi wither, i dont like wintecs though for fit although they say post 2009 ones are much better,

I have a T4 Thorowgood dressage saddle for my hard-to-fit mare, and I love it! Would really recommend them - perfect if you are on a limited budget. I find mine very comfortable and it gives me a secure position - considering I am useless at dressage

Hahah my position is awful, so that sounds good!

They sell on ebay for a very tempting price... but I really need to have a saddler out to ride in it first!

I have the thorowgood dressage and gp.

I really rate the dressage saddle - it's done wonders for my position and is very secure - I also feel secure enough to hack out in it including fast work.

My friend who has a M2M saddle costing 4 times as much always raves about my T4 dressage.

Really good value for money.
