thorowgood T8 jump saddle ?

[horseandshoes77]

Hi Does anyone have one and how do you find them, would they be suitable for high withers?

Have the t6 gp in high wither so would like to get the jump and the dressage however im worried about the clearance on withers in the jump ?

Also are they ok for long legged riders especially hip to knee ratio !

Or can anyone reccommend a saddle similar to thorowgood shape tree for showjumping and cross country ? ( Budget for jump saddle 650 )

Ive got a T6 jump saddle which I love, I found it on ebay so worth keeping an eye out. Not sure about withers but there is a high wither version.If you have the standard GP Im sure the standard jumping version would be ok.

there is a t6 and a t8 on ebay right now!

Hi I have the high withered gp hence why i was curious if the standard wither of the jump would give enough clearance ?

Theres a nice t8 jump on ebay at min

Ditto I can't seem to find a high withered jump, LOVE the GP though...maybe you could go a size bigger in the GP and order some big fat knee rolls?

I'm a very average rider and I can safely and happily do about 3ftish on my warmblood in just the GP??

Hi, i can jump in my gp its just i have to do so with longer stirrups than i would like as my knees are over the top of the knee rolls if i put them up... was hoping the jump mite be forward cut enough to take up my long leg ?

We are also wanting to compete in hunter trials and xcountry next year and tbh i dont think i could manage comfortably with my long stirrups

I have a T8 jumping saddle, not a high withered one, but have been using on a high withered TB without an issue.

I also have long thighs but don't find an issue with this saddle. I think mine is the first T8 jump saddle they brought out, looking at the T8 jumps on their website now they seem to have much more forward cut panels.
