Horse saddle?

Question

I'm looking for a saddle to do some equitation and some hunters with - both on the flat and over fences (not any huge jumps though). My budget is $2,000 max. What brand and style do you think would suit me best?

Answer 1

Didn't I answer this last week?

Anyway,

Pessoa is a great saddle maker.  Crosbys are good.  Collegiate makes a decent saddle for a little cheaper, as does Toulouse and Wintec is ok... I've sat in one once and they're comfy, but the Wintec saddle just looks so wierd to me.

Here's a Pessoa on ebay for only $600... wonderful saddle...  http://cgi.ebay.com/17-Pessoa-Roderigo-M...
