The most I would really want to spend on a saddle is like £200.

I would just be doing hacking a some local jumping shows.

Thanks for taking the time answering!

Answer 1

If I were you, I would get your horse first and then buy the saddle. The last thing you want is a huge vets bill because the saddle you bought does not fit your horse correctly.

Personally I'm not mad on the synthetic saddles - they do nothing for your position and you don't have the grip you would have if you where riding in leather, therefore you're more likely to fall off if your horse shires away from something.

I like the the Stübben general purpose range. Not only are they comfy saddles, but last forever if well looked after. Try find a second hand one from your local tack shops. They're a good investment as you can always sell it on in the future.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Personally, you'd be better off getting a saddler to come and fit your new horse a nice second-hand leather GP!

Answer 3

i absolutely do not recomend synthetic saddles. but if you must buy synthetic beause of the price, go with the kincade. it is a respictable brand
