RE: dressage saddles
This message is from: Karen McCarthy I ride a Laser 200 dressage saddle. The tree is adjustable w/ a small allen wrench (much easier IMO than the gullet plate wrestling I had to do on my Wintec Isabell - yuk!) The Laser really has nice panels and it fits through the back really well. I was lucky to find it used on the CDList of all places. I also ride a Hubertus all purpose (w/ a dressage tendency) that is very wide - similar to a Duett saddle. I like the seat on the Laser better though, and use the Hubertus for a backup or for the fatties..

Re: dressage saddles
This message is from: Sarah Clarke I use a wintec all purpose when riding the younger horses. when I am ready to do a lot of sitting trot I move them to my aging Kieffer Wein. It was originally purchased to fit a 17 hand Tb, but fits all 4 of my adult fjords fine - but none are really drafty. however neither saddle is overly padded. (I have sufficient padding already). Maybe you can just add a seat saver (sheepskin) to an otherwise well fiting saddle? --- On Tue, 7/14/09, Debby wrote: This message is from: "Debby" Can anyone and everyone who does dressage with their fjords please tell me what brand dressage saddles they use.

I want it comfy for me and the horses and right position...is that too much to ask for and not spend more than 2500.? I'd have liked the Vega monoflap, but she said it wouldn't fit the fjords as it doesn't come wide enough.

Re: dressage saddles
This message is from: Heather Baskey Barefoot (Treeless) just came out with a new spiffy Dressage saddle called the "Lexington". It will be available in September 2009. Just when I was "convinced" to go with the Wintec Wide (Parelli totes if you cannot afford their Fluidity Dressage to go with this one) - then Barefoot comes out with a nice one in the Lexington. More to lick/chew on. Heather __ Looking for the perfect gift?

Re: dressage saddles
This message is from: crystal...@aol.com thanks to everyone who posted and emailed me about dressage saddles. it has given me a lot to look at, which is good. i hope to find a used one, since my budget won't allow for the more expensive new ones. i have a friend at the barn who rides a thornhill and will let me see the size comparison between his horse and oz, and it's also a 19, which i pretty much think is what i need. if anyone is interested in my duett companion 34/19, i will be selling it reasonably. it's a good fit, but i find that the dressage fit is probably better for my back and posture. thanks again laurie, and oz, still waiting for shoes... ** Dell Days of Deals!

Re: Schleese and Albion Dressage Saddles
This message is from: Lori Albrough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Botte, Ernie wrote: > Hi - does anyone have any experience with either of these saddles? Good or > bad. Hi Nancy, I ride Prisco in a Schleese saddle. I've had it for just over 3 years. Mine is the CHB model (endorsed by Christilot Hansen Boylen). It is the most comfortable saddle I've ever owned, and fits Prisco perfectly. It also looks really nice on him. The flaps are nicely sized for me too, I am 5'2" and some saddles have flaps that are too long. We live about an hour from Schleese head office and Jochen Schleese came out to the barn to do the fitting. I sat in about 7 or 8 saddles, then rode in 3, before picking the CHB 17". Jochen then adjusted it for Prisco right on site, and I rode in it again before he left. This saddle has been used 5 or 6 days a week for the past three years on either one or two horses (it fits Sparrow too) and it still looks great, only a bit of wear on the front of the thigh rolls. I had it checked a couple of months ago and the stuffing is still in good shape, although they said you are supposed to check the stuffing yearly or twice a year at first, mine has never needed restuffing and I've never had any saddle 'issues' with my horse. Schleese saddles are quite expensive, I paid somewhere around $3,000 Cdn for mine, which at that time was about $2,000 US plus I think $100 for the barn call but they hold their value well as a used CHB goes for $2,700 Cdn now and a new one is $3,400 Cdn. Anne Appleby also rides in a Schleese, hers is a Jane Savoie model I recall. Some of my friends have the Jane Savoie but I've never tried riding in it.

RE: Schleese and Albion Dressage Saddles
This message is from: "Botte, Ernie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi - does anyone have any experience with either of these saddles? Good or bad. Sounds like the Schleese saddles are actually "fitted" to the horse and rider, guaranteed to fit and have a good long "trial" period. Any input? Thanks - Nancy and Sonnie in NH
Dressage saddles for Fjords
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jean Gayle, I did finally find a great dressage saddle that fits Fjords well...The Rembrandt OS. It has short flexible points and an "open head" which frees up the shoulders, The panels sit down well into the back (Fjords do have a bit more "sway" in the back and many saddles bridge) and the gullet is wide. Amazingly the medium tree OS I have "fits" all of my horses, altho it isn't balanced on The youngest, low in front. There are 4 tree sizes. But the way it is constructed it seems to "fit" a wide variety of horses. It was originally only one seat size, (17.5"), thus the OS (one size) but now they make an 18.5" (OSX) and a 16.5". The seat is very comfortable. and the saddle seems very stable on the horse. They run about $1100 (from Classic Saddlery, priced higher in the Whitman Catalog.) I honestly haven't ridden in it all that muchI love my OF Stitchdown. No, the Ortho-Flex aren't perfect but I have tried a LOT of saddles with my Fjords..Bjorken isn't all that wide, but has big shoulder, Bjarne, 24, has a good deal of sway in his back, but those shoulders again..I shim up one of my older OF western saddles for him, but the Rembrandt OSX Does work on him! Stella is broad and low withers...(could lose some weight)..The Rembrandt OS fits her well! I don't know how much I've spent shipping saddles back and forth, trying to find ones that work! It is a bit of a problem up here in Alaska! Jean in sunny Fairbanks, Alaska, a fabulous day after a very cool morning! >> >> I saw a Marshall treeless saddle and it was a western. The trainer said it >> fit all the horses she sat on. She did use pads on some. Do they, heavens >> forbid, make them in english? Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska [EMAIL PROTECTED]
