[RC] Back pain and saddles that fit - Sheila_LarsenI know they may sound obvious, but it isn't the type of saddle that you need to look at but one that fits you. If the dressage saddle is tipping you forward it doesn't fit you (it may or may not fit the horse) As for a bigger seat, the way the dressage saddle will determine what size you need. I am 5'5" and about 125 pounds and I can sit in a 17 in, or 17.5 inch seat depending on the saddle. The length of your thigh will also have alot to say about the size of your saddle. Before you buy a saddle make sure someone knowledge looks at you one the horse standing and moving. You need to ride in it for several hours before you made a determination. They can all feel "funny" the first couple of minutes. Depeding on where you live, I can make a saddle fit person recommendation(s) if you email me privately. Good luck on your MRI.
