Thorowgood Saddles?

[MrMeldrew]

Any good?

I need something suitable for a high wither/muscle wastage. Has anyone any experience of these saddles please?

I have one of the old Griffin's on my thoroughbred. He has very high withers and cr@p topline. The High withered saddle is the only one that fits him. As soon as I have some money saved I will be replacing it with the newer adjustable one.

Here's a picture to show his rubbish back

I have the T4 which is apparently really popular with saddle fitters because it can be adjusted alot so fits most types. I have to say its really really comfy to ride in and i think the horse would say the same! (he is a tb type)

I recently bought a lovely little second hand thorowgood as my girl had changed shape, she is thin over the back now with age, and i really like the saddle

i have a mare with high withers and my saddler got mine made to measure my thorogood and its perfect. its the t6 robert whittaker jump saddle and it fits beautifully...

My beast isn't high withered, just normal, anyway I have a Thorogood Jill Thomas Endurance saddle, I like it, changeable gullet, changeable fish, 3 fixing straps removable knee rolls, synthetic easy maintenance, doesnt slip.

Done lots of long rides in it and no problems, we were out for 5 hours one day.

As most people here probably know by now, I am a great fan of Thorowgoods.

I have a Throwgood T6 Dressage which I LOVEE. Loads of people thought I was lying when I said it was synthetic as well

I have the cob T6 and I also love it, very adjustable. As long as the tree fits your horse, it should always fit your horse as he loses/gains condition. Love it
