Adding yet another hooray for Synergist saddles.... I have two of them -
the western endurance style (no horn) and the DSS. I've had the english
style DSS for several years and have used it on quite a few horses with no
problems fitting any of them. It's advertised as an all purpose saddle and
I can attest to that, having used it for endurance, dressage, and even a little
jumping. It was always comfortable and I'd buy another one in a
heartbeat. The folks at the company are VERY helpful with any questions or
problems. If you can afford one new or find a good used one, I'd say
go for it.
