I need one to go under my Wintec jumping saddle. I got one in full (don't ask me the make!!) but it is too small.
Any brilliant suggestions that won't necessitate a second mortgage on my house?
 
Is it too small front to back, or top to bottom? I have a long flap VSD and the only GP saddlecloths that are always deep enough without pulling down on the withers are the Roma Grand Prixs. I've just had to buy a load of them. I don't think they are especially long front to back though, if its an extra long seated saddle you've got.
 
Flame, unfortunately it is front to back. I just can't get a decent fit when I fasten it round the girth straps. I have the same problem with numnahs too. Just wish they'd make them a couple of inches bigger all round.
 
Thanks to JessPickle I have solved this problem!

I have always struggled to get a saddle cloth to fit my 18" saddle. As Charlie has VERY high withers I need to pull it right up at the front and because of this it always seems to compensate the length, I also find they are not deep enough so have to pull them down in order to get the girth through the loops which obviously means I am pulling it down on to his withers.

Jesspickle recommended this one for me

which arrived yesterday. Even though it is a dressage one it didn't look out of place on my GP saddle, there was about an inch and a half behind the saddle and best of all it stayed of his withers during the whole hack!

I will now be selling all my other saddle cloths and replacing them with a few more of these!

ETA - I think they are quite a good price as they are thicker then the Griffin High wither ones (that I paid £20 each for) but not so thick that they will alter the fit of your saddle. They also come in 40 + colours!
