As some of you know, I have decided to get a new saddle as I think that mine isn`t fitting well at the moment. It did, but that was 18 months ago, when I had it, and we have got a lot more muscle and filled out etc. It is a lovely saddle, a Bates Caprilli with Cair with adjustable gusset. It is lovely and comfy too and she has had a lot less trouble with her back with the Cair. Well, McTimoney lady today said that the saddle no longer fits. I have booked in a saddle fitter to come, but he can`t come for 3 weeks. So I have been advised to lunge her in Pessoa for the time being to build up the muscle without a saddle.
I went to the saddle fitters shop and he has Albions, Blyth Tait, Pessoa, Jaguar etc, and he is bringing some to try. I am going for a jumping saddle and also trying the Isabel Werth.
This is probably the reason why we have had a couple of stops and the 1/2 strides for the last few months.
Hopefully we will find the perfect saddle for us both. I am thinking of taking her over there the week after next to have one fitted as I don`t fancy waiting 3 weeks.
