I ride alot of different horses (five last year,
only two were mine) and it works however the owner of the horse wants it to
work.
I will ride any saddle, and with some horses, like
the Icelandic, Skjoldur, I would be irresponsible NOT to use the saddle made
just for him, as he is...ahem....odd shaped.
When I ride for another friend who sells alot of
horses, she prefers me to use my saddle, so I pick the one that I think will
fit. I own a sport saddle, an Abetta, a Courbette Husar, and a Sommer
Oakfield (which,BTW, is offered on ebay right now....great
deal.....)
IMHO, riding someone elses horse means you do what
the owner is comfortable with.
