Just toying with the idea of trying a WOW saddle on Bud as he is a sensitive sole and although we don't have any major saddle related problems with both of his 'traditional' flocked saddles there's just a few tiny things that i wonder may be lessens with an air panel and a wow saddle, he is quite asymatric (sp) and pushes current jump saddle over with his bigger shoulder slightly and has uneven sweat patches under both saddles.... so your thoughts please on WOW saddles

Also if i should give it a go i really want the best fitter possible so can anyone recomend someone that will come to me in the Midlands (Staffordshire)

Any advice and opinions much appreciated.

Thanks
 
I love my wow saddle. Ron has big shoulders, and not much wither, and I found that every saddle moved too much when we jumped. he even used to break the straps on a hunting breastplate or pull out the D rings from the saddle!

the wow barely moves, (I have an XC and shallow seat as in pic below) and I love it. It's so comfy, and his jump is better! I still use the breastplate but really only to give me a neck strap!

as for fitters try the wow website
 
thanks good to see one on a horse and here the hows and whys, it's looks good i am not a huge fan on the look of them but if it was better for Bud and helped just a fraction more than current saddles i am def up for trying one!
had a look on the website but i have heard it makes so much difference having the right fitter might have a ring round them and see which i like the sound of

thanks again
 
Have you thought about having flair fitted to your current saddle? Costs around £250 to have done. Could be a cheaper option than buying a WOW saddle. Can recommend a very good fitter.
 
TBH the GP or dressage doesn't look any different when being ridden. Love wow saddles. If you dont mind not being able to change flaps then the wow club fitted with flair is a cheaper option than the competitor with ALL the benefits.
This is my Wow GP

Love mine. Mine are both dressage style, I've been using them on mine for over 5 years now (6yrs next spring).

My younger mare was very assymmetrical (from a field injury)when she first got hers and she changed shape very rapidly - needed adjusting/plate change twice within 6 weeks and the change in her performance was phenomenal. I reall thought she was going to struggle to get past elementary and she made the jump to medium within 4 months of having the WOW. She had a year off due to a ligament injury (also field acquired!) and is now back competing advanced medium and due to do her first PSG soon.
She is now almost symmetrical - if you template her you can't see the difference at all, she just has a whiff more air in one front bag.
