Karen, I had a Thorogood once, nicely made saddle, synthetic with a gel seat, very comfy for my horse, only reason I sold it was I had two saddles that basically fit the same way, only the other was a wintec aussie (old style) and it had more dees to attach gear to.  Here's a link to some decent prices, close to what you are looking for.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am planning on taking some basic English riding lessons and need some recommendations on a low cost basic English saddle.  I know very little about English saddles.  I have a Tucker Endurance saddle that I love, so this English saddle will not be used for much more than taking lessons and practicing.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a low cost but decent English saddle? 

 

My horse is 1/2 Arabian, 1/2 Saddlebred and physically takes after his Saddlebred side more (with a pretty Arab head).  He has medium withers and a slightly sloping back.  He takes a medium Tucker tree, which translates into quarterhorse bars in a western saddle.  I am a heavyweight but now almost middleweight rider. 

 

Any suggestions?  By low cost I am thinking $300 or less.  Does such a saddle exist?  And yes, I know you get what you pay for.  :-)

 

Thank you!

Karen
