Reviews and Comments
It arrived in "classic brown" which was more to my taste than the slightly orange colour I had anticipated.
I was impressed with the flexible girth anchor options (four of them) and when girthed up, I couldn't lift the rear of the saddle.
My large shouldered, high-withered thoroughbred was very comfortable and happy in this saddle. He moved better in it than any of the saddles that I have tried on him. He licked his lips, chewed and sighed when i saddled him up, tracked up well and swung through his back at walk, trotted freely and cantered with joyous abandon (finally - his shoulder was free). Snorted lots, circled in beautiful wide arcs and cantered dead straight.
It wasn't the most padded seat that I have sat in, but there is definitely room in the seat for the rider to find their own preferred position; the saddle seat is quite open.
It was easy to put my legs on - and the twist is comfortable; not as wide as I thought it might be.
I am extremely happy with the purchase and would recommend it - thank you very, very much!
