WOW saddles NR thoughts plzzz

[Bob's mum]

Seriously contemplating one of these saddles, has anyone any thoughts, comments, experience they are willing to share ??:)

I'm currently trying to find a local fitter to try one on my boy so will be interested in any responses :)

I've had mine for a few years now & I haven't got a bad word to say about it. It's incredibly comfortable for me, really helps my position & doesn't make me feel like I'm doing the splits despite my horse needing the widest but one headplate. Jim is very happy in it, works well over his back & has good muscle development. The couple of times he's had a "normal" saddle back on he's made his feelings very clear!

I've had it altered quite a few times - he wasn't fully grown when I got it - & this has never been a problem.

I'd love another one for Little Un, I don't like riding in other saddles anywhere near as much.

I had a wow saddle and loved it - it was so so so comfortable ( I've never ridden in anything nearly as nice before or since). It also fitted the horse really well and she loved it. You need to be careful about the fitting (there are so many different options and some fitters are rubbish).

I however sold mine because I was broke and couldn't afford to hang onto such a valuable saddle:( I want it back.....................!!!!!

Oh Pink's Lady, I'm so sorry!

I have two and would not want to use anything else now, I'm busy saving for one for my baby horse (she's only two so I've got a couple of years :D )

I saw an enormous difference in my two - they've had them four and three years respectively. Don't have any pics of the old lady in hers but this is the other mare. First pic is pre-WOW (she was wearing a Jeffries, my niece is on board for that pic), second after a few months, those after that are more recent.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, LGD your horse looks superb. Looks like you've got yourselves a convert !

Have got one to trial for the next few days and am very lucky 'cos one of my pals is a Wow fitter, so fingers crossed my boy likes it too !:D
