Western Dressage Saddle?

Has anyone ridden in a Western Dressage Saddle?

I have been drooling over the CircleY Western Dressage saddle for a very long time. I'd hate to save up the money and hate the saddle!

Opinions?

I haven't looked real hard, but does any other company make a Western Dressage Saddle?

I dont' really see the point of it. If you have a good Western saddle that does NOT put you in a chair seat by virtue of having the stirrup bars too far forward, you should be able to do any and all that you could do in that saddle.

Better to just get a nice dressage saddle.


This is the saddle I have. It is very comfy and fits darn near any horse I put it on. I call it "the Sofa" due to it's soft seat. It isnt' the best dressage saddle but for the price, it's great for an amature.

I can't see the point in the Circle Y saddle. Who needs thigh rolls in a good western saddle? Look for a well made balanced ride. Several saddlers make saddles on the old Monte Foreman tree and it rides like a good english dressage saddle. Other saddlers are coming out with "western dressage" saddles but they're built on the same principle - no gimmicks, just a tree that centers the rider and allows the leg to hang straight down and cutouts to make the saddle as close contact as possible.

I guess these are both very valid points.
