Extreme Veteran Posts: 437	I'm shopping a new saddle. Curious what are y'all's favorite saddles and why?

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	My personal favorites have been Ammerman and PSC because of the balanced ride. However, I have been through MANY saddles (including the 2 I have already mentioned) in the last 5 years trying to find something that worked on my hip high, slightly dipped back w/muscle atrophy mare (have been working on building top line for a couple of years with great improvement) I would get a saddle and think initially that it would work but within 2-3 months I had to change because she would get sore. For the last year I have been riding in a Seven saddle. While the bar angle is just a smidge wide for her, it has rock to it and fits her wonderfully. It also rides balanced and has a pencil roll (my first) so I do really like riding in it.

The One Posts: 7997 Location: South Georgia	I really love my Double J Pozzi Pro. It has a nice deep seat and sits me close to my horse, it holds me in, and it's super comfortable. And it fits my horse well and has perfect sweat pattern.

You have to find what fits your horse and fits your style of riding, but my favorites have been a Shiloh Jordan Briggs Finalist (same as a contender but without the cutout swells) and my current saddle - Robbie Phillips! I loved my Shiloh but sold it when I thought it wasn't fitting my mare all that well. I got a Stingray and it helped teach me to sit deeper, but my favorite saddle is my Robbie Phillips! I love how the tree fits my horse (and can be customized) and I love how I can get forward and move while still feeling secure in the turns.
