How do you all rate the Jessica Ideal dressage saddle

I think they are a super dressage saddle. Lovely, very comfortable to ride in with a lovely soft seat and knee blocks, just big enough and just in the right place.

I used one for about 6 years and highly recommend. If it had made any attempt to fit my new horse, I would have kept it.

I borrowed my friends Jessica Dressage Saddle when I was waiting for my new saddle, I loved it - really comfortable and gave a nice position.

I have really long legs and thought it was great, my friend who is somewhat shorter didn't like it and sold it on.

I rate it 10/10

i have just brought one and i think its brill soooooo comfortable and light for the horse .it doesnt cost as much as other either !! i am going to use mine for showing as well although the suede is rather marked any ideas how to clean it up a bit i have tried a brass brush but it didnt work.

i found it gave me cramp in my ankle for some reason and it didn't quite fit my horse, or at least she didn't move as freely in it as in another saddle.

[melissajoy]

maybe its your weird ankle lol only joking!!

ankle is no way as bad as my knees.

seriously i had never ridden in a dressage saddle before only a GP, or VSD but as it was proving so hard to find a saddle to fit my horse was willing to try anything.

it certainly made you sit in a very fixed position compared to the other saddles where you have to find your place - this put you there and kept you there which is probably why i kept getting cramp riding in it!

molly horse also did not move in it, so was probably just a bit too narrow for her. found it made me lazy as didn't have to work at staying in position.

my instructor at the time saw me ride in it and the VSD one I bought and as she said it's down to personal preference - she does dressage but prefered the VSD saddle.
