Really random question, but im going to be getting the saddler out within the next couple of months when i have the time, for a dressage saddle. She has a Barnsby GP atm, which suits her just fine, but ... i would like a dressage aswell. We used to have a kieffer on her which doesnt fit her, width wise its great, but the tree is too banana shaped and the points are too long. What makes of saddle would suit her best? This is her -    Big shoulders -  |

Kate, isabella worths are wintec arent they? Ive had a wintec on her back before, with no success at all, it sat like my kieffer did Ive been told by the saddler that thorowgoods are probably be best synthetic to go for, but i cant seem to find one in XW. But yes, they look like nice saddles  |

My Wow is the best investment I've ever made. Lost a small fortune over the years when either changing horses or horses changing shape. Wished it had been around earlier |

Ive always loved wows, i sat in one within the first year i started riding, on a saddle stand only unfortunately, but with the way im spending my money, i might have a wow before i reach retirement!!!
Unless i can get hold of a cheapish one, but then id be worried about why it was so cheap - any damage etc.
If i could sell my kieffer, id have about £1000 combined with the money i have saved up, but its just not shifting...

I must be the only person who has a wow saddle and 7.5 ton lorry but no horse! Fab idea! Hmm how would you like Eddie? ;D  (Gem might be a little small for your likings) Hmm yes, maybe im doing it all wrong!!! Sell all 3 horses, and for the money they fetch (about £10,000ish i reckon) go out and sell all other horsey tack, buy a wow and a lorry, sell my dads landie and my trailer too ... then just find some poor unsuspecting person to nick their horse from!!! ;D |

My kieffers instructions said it could, but then as it was made wider, the tree got more and more banana shaped! I know theyre comfy, and id have to go for the option of having the changeable flaps ... if i could afford it... but arrghhh theyre so expensive! I know its like a one off payment, but im a skint student with no money to make that one off payment (if i did, id have 2 greys and 2 bays by now!  ) .... |
