Hi everyone. I have just a saddle fitter out for advice on a new horse I have. She is a 13.2hh 12 year old cob and a blue cross rescue, she is being backed lightly by me for me to ride and my 5 year old son. I got a saddle fitter as I didn't want to take risks on a ill fitting saddle as she will be for children to be lead on and hopefully ridden on in the future. She will be back dby me this spring/summer once or twice a week and going forwards probably only ridden that often too in a grass arena on my land and on hacks. So basically very very light work and just for a plod around on. The fitter agreed that for such light low level of work getting a saddle with a tree would be a lot of call outs and adjustments and that a treeless saddle would be a better, easier, cheaper option for us which I totally agree with.
She suggested coming onto a forum and picking peoples brains on which type of saddle is worth looking at and what kind of padding. It needs to be 16.5" - 17" and I don't mine what style, look or anything really, as long as it fits and is easy! Looking forward to peoples advice. I may go second hand if people think that's a good idea.
thanks
