Well, it's like choosing milk at the super market Razz

With saddles, get the one which fits your horse the best and is the most comfortable , good quality one. Depends a lot on your build , as in size, length of flap etc.
See if you can try a few , preferably withe a saddle fitter present. Or borrow a few different brands ..... Good Luck
Cheers MARTINA

Call your local saddlery, tell them your price range, and get them to bring out a whole stack of new and secondhand dressage saddles...

Try each and every one on your horse- find what fits them, then ride in it and find what fits you.

Definitely make sure you try the saddle and ride in it on
YOUR horse. Saddles feel completely different on each and every horse. I hated the bates Maestro on my own horse but like riding in it when on my friends horse! I own a Peter Horobin and wouldn't swap it for the world.
Good luck Smile

I am getting a Crosby for my birthday and I absolutly loooooooooooooooooove it! But like everyone else has said, make sure you get it fitted to your horse when you purchase it as theres nothing worse than getting a saddle which does not fit your horse correctly, resulting in a sore back Smile Best of luck, I loved finding my new saddle and when you find that certain saddle, you'll know Wink

I'm in love with the Bates Caprilli, but it's way outside of my budget. I ended up with a Wintec 500 dressage, which is built simply but is comfortable and fits my horse well. Very Happy
