Arrived yesterday, good condition and seems to fit quite well but going to get saddler out at the weekend. It is initially very uncomfortable to sit in because it really does open your hip out and push your leg back - which is good but after a little while it became unnoticable and my canter was a definite improvement, it really makes you sit deep because theres so much support front and back - in fact its almost like a western saddle in that respect!
I'm a bit confused by the girth straps though to be honest. It has two webbing straps that come from under the saddle one of which has a leather girth strap sewn to it. The other girth strap seems to come out of the knee roll. They are also both really long. Is this right? It seems a bit odd to me but then what do I know about dressage saddles anyway!
