Will this Saddle fit my warmblood PLEASE HELP !?

[WildRush]

I've been looking for a nice jumping saddle for ages and I have finally found one that I like the look of.

Do you think this description sounds like it will fit Scarlett my 15.3 English Warmblood -Blue dot-dot measures 6".D ring to D ring 8" Blue dot to cantle 17",Pommel to cantle 16 1/2".

Thankyou for you helppp xxx

If it's a blue dot, then it's probably a Stubben. (don't like them, that's my personal opinion).

There is ABSOLUTLEY NO WAY anyone on an internet forum (saddler/saddle fitter or otherwise) can tell if a saddle will fit your horse from a vague description of measurements and a vague description of your horse. Sorry.

Please get a professional to fit a saddle. If you can get hold of this saddle for a trial, see if a fitter can come out to you and check the fit on your horse. You will have to pay, but trust me, it will be worth it in the long run.

You can't really tell whether it's going to fit just by a description. Every horse is a different shape, and has muscle built up in different areas. Your best bet is to get a registered saddle fitter out to see whether it fits her or not.

How long is a piece of string?

Kis Vihar, may I ask why you don't like them? I've always likened sitting on a Stubben saddle to sitting on a breeze block.

eugh no, in my exprience the panels on stubbens are always to high and cause problems with movements and muscle development and close contacts are a b*tch for horses to move well in at all (according to sadler ) so i'd steer well clear of european saddles like stubbens and similarly built sadles...

LOL. Yep!

When we worked in the saddlery and saddle-fitter's place in the UK, we had hundreds of saddles in, including many, many Stubbens, new and used.

When it was quiet, I had the chance to try all the saddles on the purpose designed saddle horse.

I destested every Stubben I sat on! I was in love with the most expensive Stubben dressage saddle...until I sat on it! Breezeblock is a bit too kind I reckon!

Oh...and Stubben saddles are a b*tch to work on!

I hate stubbens too, concrete panels and seats, horrible things!

Thanks for that Kis Vihar Many moons ago I worked for a show jumper, all her jumping saddles were Stubbens, I thought they were horrible, she said she liked them for jumping because they were so uncomfortable to sit on, they encouraged her to have a light seat
