My saddler came on Thursday, having been given a list of requirements for my new saddle. Obviously must fit Rose and be adjustable as she's stll changing shape but also accommodate me, which is not as easy as I am long from hip to knee but can't ride too long so can't cope with big knee blocks, I've got tight hips so I tend to have a bit of a chair seat in some saddles and I was starting to find my current saddle a bit heavy to lift into place. He bought several saddles and I sat in three of them, the new K2 was the best by far. The new version has a narrower twist, it's monoflap so lighter and you sit closer to the horse and it's adjustable. It's also relatively inexpensive and he's offered me a very good price for my old Ideal Suzannah. I've ridden in it a couple of times now and am hacking out in it later this morning but so far, it's all good, I can drop my stirrups a hole and still feel comfortable and in balance. I understand this model came out middle of last year but if anyone has one, please let me know how you are getting on with it.
