Pessoa Saddles
Pessoa vs. Harry Dabbs saddle?
So here's the deal...I'm looking to buy my first saddle, and I'm looking for quality over quantity. My total budget (saddle, leathers & stirrups) is $1000. I've been looking at used Pessoas, and have found quite a few, however I recently came across 2 great deals on Harry Dabbs saddles - 1 True Brit CC & 1 Avant A/O CC.
I know that Harry Dabbs was one of the original makers of the Nelson Pessoa, and the quality is rumored to be remarkably similar. Can anyone offer any feedback on one or both of these saddles? It'd be greatly appreciated! 
btw...i'm 25, 5'3" and do hunter/jumper
I have ridden in a Pessoa a few times many years ago, and the feeling has stayed with me until now. I have never ridden in a Dabbs. I wouldn't purchase something unless I could try it, but don't want to go through revolving saddles.
For your money, I'd go with a CC Stubben Siegfried. Find a used one, probably 16.5 inch seat, but not sure what type your horse would use. I have an A/P Siegfried which I've had for 37 of it's 40 years and love it dearly. They hold their value and Stubben is known for a deeper seat.

The seat's a bit big on this one, but should give you a pretty good idea.

giving treats when cinching up will get you a nippy horse in the end. cinch slowly. a little at a time. let her relax, cinch another notch. repeat. patience is the key to get you results with horses. maybe spend 1 day just cinching. i guess get help lifting a heavy saddle, or get stronger by practicing lifting heavy stuff. that way you empower yourself. bareback pads are a pain. just ride bareback. it's fun to feel your horse moving and you'll learn to use your legs.
moving her hind away, do you mean like swinging out? against a fence works good also try shortening the right rein so if she swings she will swing into you. again patience here. spend some time on the mount/dismount. over and over. spend time each day just mounting and dismounting. my heart breaks listening to the poster who tells you to slap and shank your horse. i have had horses since i was a little girl and have spent my lifetime loving and riding horses. there is no need to be so cruel as to shank your horse to teach him anything. you are teaching him fear, not to trust you. my first time on a horse's back was when i was 3, i am now 54.
