(no subject)
Hey guys! I'm looking for a new cheapish dressage saddle to ride my training horses in. Wintec, or something similar. I ride so many horses every day that I don't know that I care if it has the "easy change" gullet system... I don't think it changes the saddle as much as people give it credit for, it's still not so easy that I want to mess with it between horses, and I have (or could get) any pad under the sun to help with minor fit adjustments. I do ride almost exclusively Warmbloods, and while my personal horse is a Thoroughbred, the saddle will be to fit them, so I definitely need a wide tree. My personal tastes run more to the minimalist than bulky/restrictive, and if it matters, I am petite, at 5'1" and about 110lbs. I ride many horses, all day, every day, so this saddle needs to wear well, hold up, and be comfortable! I've never gotten a NEW saddle before, so this is very exciting! I'm looking for personal anecdotes, recommendations, and advice about various saddle brands and models that might fit my needs. What do you love? What have you tried that you hate?
So it's not just text, have a picture of one of my training horses, at the show we hosted this summer.
(And apologies in advance if I missed any typos or errors, my phone is my only internet!)
