Please help! I accidentally sold both my saddles, and haven’t found anything I like to ride my horse.
If you could pick ANY saddle to ride an insanely fast/turny horse, what would you pick?
Ok, now if your budget was MAX $2000 what would you pick?
I had a CJ Cactus that didn’t help me out very much but fit him great. Had a Merrill that I loved, but had too much rock for him and was making him sore. Tried a Pozzi that I think I liked but it was a good inch too big for me (tried a standard and determined that he would need a wide).

Robbie Phillips all the way. I think they feel comparable to a Roohide, but with taller swells. You can go brand new, fit to your horse for around $2k.

I don't know if I have any insanley fast horses but Dexter is so very quick and turny - he's got a hell of a move on the backside of the 1st, and I've really liked using my Circle Y Flex2 saddle on him (he takes the regular tree). Nice deep seat and keeps me in good position.

What size?
I have a 15" Frontier Futurity that someday I will take out of the bag and get a pic and get up for sale. I rode the rocket mare in it. Think funny car with a radical drop and turn. Held me in great. It's not going to fit the new DTF mare.

I agree, I went through alot of saddles and Im sold on my robbie phillips!
it fits my wide back mare (everything wanted to roll on her) and it keeps me where i need to be! and they are afforable! plus robbie is amazing to work with!
