I am looking for another saddle for my Laddie. I have been doing loads of research but my brain has become totally "saddle befuddled"I have never had saddle trouble before (always had a saddler to fit and check my lovely old one that sadly does not fit Laddie.) I have had lots of help and suggestions but I think I now need to actually see some before I go ahead and try/ buy one. If there is anyone reasonably close that would have either a Specialised saddle ( non English style), an F N E saddle, Podium saddle or a maybe a Saddle Company one ? I just would like to see how they feel, weigh , look and adjust.Hopefully I would not take up too much of anyones time. Sounds a bit crazy but I think I would rather drive myself around than spend £sss asking saddlers from all parts of the country to come to me. I know not every saddle will suit my horse but at least I can see what they actually look like before I get a particular saddler/ supplier out.

Sandy, Mum will show you my Specialized if you phone her - at least we are not THAT far from you. I know it is not the same style as the one you are considering, but frankly it is only the leg panel being bigger that is different (and not having the handle on the front) - the seat, undersides, girthing arrangement etc. are all the same. Don't have any of the others that you are considering though. |

Yes I have an older style endurance model FnE. Happy for you to come look, pm me for yard details. Hoping to get it onto Cousteau this weekend (weather permitting) so you can see it on a horse as well. |
