I do jumping, but I've switched to dressage temporarily because my new horse needs some manners and proper training. I had origionally thought I would do dressage for a while just until he was balanced and controlable enough to jump, but I'm really enjoying it. I think I'm going to do dressage for fun and do jumping more competetively.
I've been using my friend's dressage saddle because I only have jumping saddle, but I'd like to get my own. I know I'll have to go sit in all of them before I choose which one to get, but I'd like to know which brands are comfortable for the horse and hold up well. I'd like it to have a very low, flat pomell, but still a deep seat. I like them to have big knee blocks too. I have a bates jumping saddle, and I've thought about getting a bates innova saddle (they're like half price at the local saddlery) but everyone seems to not like them. What kinds do you like?
I've had several dressage saddles and I really love the deep seated ones with the nice big knee blocks.
