Don't be shy:wink: |
The Thornhill looks to be the right width, but I'm not crazy about the shape of the rear panel for her. It looks like it might dig in there/bridge in the middle with a rider's weight. I think, though, that you've got it positioned too far forward and it's interfering with her shoulder. When it's back far enough, I suspect it's going to be too long for her back. |
Collegiate looks pretty good although I wonder if it's a little too narrow. Thornhill looks much better on Emmy than on other horses you posted. GH, not to be a pain in a rear, but do you have fitters in your area? May be when you'll set you want to call one out. Because sometime adding/removing flocking can help with the better fit. |
*SIGH* I live in Sask, which is the far side of the back of beyond, Tack stores are few and far between, those of us who choose to ride English are a strange breed that are grudgingly given a corner, or preferably a back room, away from the *proper* tack. I will have to get back on the local boards and see if there is someone about, last time I asked there was someone who knew of someone.......the nearest direct hit I got was 4 hours away! |
Yeah, unless you are very lucky you most probably don't have one around then. |
Keep asking around, and check with other local equine professionals. My equine massage therapist is a terrific saddle fitter, but does not advertise herself as such. |
I once asked a tack store in Tucson if they had any English saddles. The guy looked at me with an expression that indicated I probably engaged in bestiality, then led me to a back room that would have qualified as a saddle museum. I doubt there was a saddle in the room under 50 years, and most had gone at least 40 without being touched by oil. I was afraid to touch anything lest it crumble into dust... What would I do without the Internet?! |
:lol::lol: I can just see that bsms. Good news, I have found a fitter who will travel and if I can line up a few of us then she will waive her travel fee! |
The saddle in the first pic isn't sitting right. The second, the Thornhill is much better. You probably won't get any better than that unless you blow $3000 on a saddle. |
