Does anyone know how wide the panels are in these? And how far apart they are? As in the width of the gullet? I am thinking of getting the jump version for a very wide and fairly barrel shaped ISH. She has a wide spine so needs nice wide panels. My MW albion K2 sits nicely across the back and gives good clearance of her spine but is way too blockly and narrow at the front. I can't really afford to splash out on one of the really expensive saddles at the moment so was considering this as a more economic option. Also she is only 4 and will change shape.

Also does anyone know what they are like for a tall rider with a very long hip to knee length?

I might have to buy one without trying first as there are no fitters that stock them anywhere near me, hence all the questions!

Any info appreciated, good or bad :)
 
I have the t8 gp and the pannels are nice and wide, sit nice and flat on his back :) haven't seen the jump version but I assume it would be similar
 
Thank you :) That is what I am looking for. I hate those saddles with small little panels that are close together. I am sure my horse hates them even more!
