What saddles does everyone have?

I have 2 Thorowgoods, one GP and one Dressage. My boy has had 5 saddles and none of them were perfectly suitable for him - the Thorowgood however is a perfect fit and its a lovely comfy saddle to ride in - and I dont need to spend so much time cleaning it :D
 
Have just invested (and yes it is at that price!) a Nick Dolman close contact WH/dressage style saddle with the serge panels. It was fitted by Kay Humphries (who designed them) and is SO comfortable for both of us, the amount of muscle that has built up already on my horse is amazing!
 
I have an ideal WH saddle, a Thorogood high wither, a thorogood cob, and my pony leather saddle which I can't remember what the make is.

Love the Ideal, hate the thorogood cob, like the high wither.
 
I have 3 Barrie Swain holistic half panel Dressage saddles all with serge underneath. 3 barrie Swain Jump saddles, all half panel with serge underneath and one Barrie Swain GP half panel, leather under. The little GP i have had for 19 years, fantastic saddle, looks like new despite being used daily. Barrie Swain/ Kay Humphries/ Nick Dolman saddles are an investment,. but how many of you have a saddle that is still perfect 19 years on.
 
I have a wintec gp. And also a barefoot treeless.
I absolutely love both of them. But I am considering selling the barefoot. As I know I could get quite a bit for it, which I could do with with Xmas coming up. But also I think if I did sell it I would be gutted.

And a brand new Harry Dabbs elegante dressage saddle (new today!) so have no pics of it as yet.
 
I have a lovely Sue Carson jump saddle,leader. I have recently purchased it for my 3yr old, hopefully a potential event horse. I think they are fantastic and my boi goes brill in them!!
 
Both of my saddles are Hilton's - Palmarium Elite Dressage saddle and also a Hilton International Jumping saddle, absolutely love Hilton saddles, lovely soft buffalo hide, really comfy too, they have made such a difference to my horse since changing to them a few years ago.
 
Albion dressage saddle for dressage
Stubben jumping saddle for jumping
Wintec 500 GP for hacking

I adore my Albion. Had it years and it's amazing. It fit my 17hh WB and now also fits my 15.1hh Connie with no adjustment.
Wintec I've had for years for backing horses and keep it as a standby.
Stubben is new (second hand) so I can get the boy out jumping. Such a lovely little saddle but quite hard seat unlike the Albion!
