NJ | I need a dressage saddle. I've been making do with my old (20+
NJ | year-old) Siegfried, but I really want something a bit more suitable.
NJ | I'm sort of hard to fit because my legs are *really* short, and most
NJ | of the flaps are just too long and too wide. I also prefer a seat
NJ | with a nice narrow twist. Can anyone recommend a saddle to fit me?
NJ |
NJ | Oh, yea - my horse is a thoroughbred, but he has a warmbloody set of
NJ | withers and back. Most saddles that seem to fit me tip back on him a
NJ | little. *sigh*
Two identical models imported by Courbette, the Charles deKunffy in
Sella leather, Trenck D_II in bridle leather, have about the smallest
flaps around. The tree comes in several widths, so one should fit your
horse. Although, if you're used to a Stubben, you may never be
satisfied with a Courbette's comfort. I have a both Courbette and
Stubben dressage saddles; I find the latter much more comfortable. If
fact, my Courbette Trenck D_II is for sale, but it has an 18" seat.
