this is the link for the saddle. Dover is a dealer for them, I'm going to see if they can special order it.
Im riding in a specialized right now, but its not mine. And I dont know how long I will have it. Im hoping to have it until after my first ride in February.
I think Yogiwick is onto something....I have to say I used to have a Thorowgood dressage saddle, and I really liked it. It was far from new when I got it, and I used it a couple of years, and sold it. It fit my Arabians (mine are narrow-shouldered, big-barreled mares, so saddles go forward....) and I probably should not have sold it!
The issue with my boy Rikki is he had high narrow withers and the area behind his shoulders is hollowed a bit, combine that with a curved short arabian back. Almost all saddles bridge really bad Posted via Mobile Device
The angle on this pic sucks, but you can still see how curved his back is. He is not sway backed from being ridden, he is only five and a half and I broke him right before he turned five
The pic won't show up for some reason. Is his back (behind his withers) smooth? or still a little ridged? I think that is what they are using the term apex for, since pretty much any horse will have some sort of an "apex" at the withers. Maybe a cut back saddle?? Have you considered an Australian saddle? Have no clue, just a thought You may need special padding
I love my thorogood saddle! The est part is that if that DOSE fill out you can change the gullet bars to fit better!
