Trying to find a dressage saddle that will be a good fit for my horse:

attachment.php


He's filled out a lot since this photo was taken but it gives a general impression of shape. I've had differing opinions from my saddle fitter, physio and chiropractor and just don't know where to go next. One has suggested a 'cob' saddle as he's flat backed, another says my saddle (thorogood) is fine, and one has recommended an Albion (or similar, like an Ideal or something).

Does anyone have a similar horse (he's a Hanoverian x Selle Francais if that helps) and knows what saddle will suit his shape?

N.B. Any saddle I get will be checked by a sadder and flocked accordingly, just want ideas for the actual saddle

What sort of budget do you have?
 
Semiflex..? I love mine

And they are fully adjustable so will always fit your horse or another one if you change horses

Fab for the horses back, they really stride out in them.
