I was on a course 2 weeks ago and one of the participants had one of those Syd Hill Saddles - supposedly from Australia - her horse was"chubby" - a Dülmener Wild Horse. She thought it was the greatest thing. It looks good, too - but is very heavy. Apparently alot of people order this saddle and wind up selling it because it is meant for horses with a wide girth. My "Kai" is sort of slender for a Fjord - and leggy. I had to sell the first saddle I bought for him because his withers are not pronounced enough. I bought him a KIEFER saddle, the type is "Aachen" and it fits him perfectly. I bought it second hand and am very pleased with it.
