Okay, the custom dressage saddle I may order comes with options for:
(i) how big I want a thigh/knee block
(ii) seat depth.
Just curious to get some feedback on this. Thought/comments?
Here's my story: I am a fairly beginner/novice dressage rider, and have used so many saddles that I have not developed a strong preference for anything in particular. I hear the default block is quite notable in size, and I can request that it be a bit smaller (the stirrup bars are placed a bit further back than many saddles and I have heard allow for a great position, so maybe a larger block becomes redundant, or maybe it is nice - some riders must like it I guess). I'd think a standard seat depth might be fine for me - you can see the standard seat depth in the picture below from their web site:
