thoughts and opinions on HDR saddles?

[ogriffith21534]

Just ordered a HDR Pro Show Jumping Saddle from dover saddlery; what are your thoughts? do they fit nicely? This is my first saddle that I've ever bought, so I'm quite excited/nervous :S oh and do you think it would match with my chestnut TB?

any thoughts and opinions will be appreciated

I have ridden in a few old HDR event saddles and absolutely loved them having always been a stuben seigfried girl these are now up their with them for me
I never fall off in them and there comfy for hacking around in too. nice work manship quality leather and never had an issue with mine.
My only problem with both the stubeen and the hdr is neither fits my chunky withered American paint horse! he needs a wide gullet not just a wide saddle so now have a GS Pro event which looks nice but am yet to ride in it

I love them! Apart from the hideous orange colour :/

They aren't the best saddles in the world and the leather isn't great but I loved riding in mine, and horse liked it too as it was light.
