I guess I should have included in there that english saddles traditionally
don't work for this horse. She had a spinal injury as a two year old and for
unknown reasons english saddles cause lameness. I'm going to take a flat
seat saddle seat sadde on test ride, otherwise known as a cutback. I rode
english pleasure for a while, so I can ride in it, if it'll fit. The saddle
seat trainer who has this said that cutbacks will fit anything because
they're cut back (original, huh?), but I don't think it'll work long term
for us because it's got so little padding and nothing to help me stay in
position!
