![]() ![]() ![]() It looks a lot like the ones you are posting but its balance point wanted to keep my feet out in front of me which is all wrong for ear hip heel straightness, and I think you will fight that. I hated his saddle even after I inherited his horse when he quit riding. Just my two cents, I used to do the AQHA all around stuff as a kid and my brother rode reiners. an equitation/horsemanship saddle will help you out. ![]() I would want something that keeps your leg right underneath you as is correct for dressage instead of out in front of you like a lot of the western saddles are built to do with their relaxed feel or, with cutting and reining, they need that for self-preservation. I think you ought to consider an equitation/horsemanship model. And you won’t know that until you try it on. Of course, whatever you end up trying, make sure you can RETURN IT! You’ll need to be 100% sure it fits your horse. They are going to be at the top end or your budget (new) but you can find them used. I have two very beefy Quarter Horses and I just love how that saddle fits. I barrel race so I have the Lisa Lockhart version. If you need a wider saddle, I really like my Circle Y Flex2 WIDE saddle. The angle of the bars, the rock, twist, flare, etc will all influence the fit. Keep in mind that gullet is NOT the only factor you have to consider. Or does anybody have any suggestions for a saddle (new or used) that fits that and is under $2000? I need a 17 inch seat, and my mare needs an 8 inch gullet. I would like a butterfly style skirt, roughout jockeys and fenders, and would prefer a smooth leather seat. And it is true that the craftmanship is not what it used to be 20 or 30 years ago. By happenstance, I’ve only ever used Circle Y saddles. ![]()
