I’ve been half leasing the same horse for a few years now and (knock on wood) think it will likely continue for a while. We event, little short baby things, and I use the owner’s tack. Her jump saddle is great, but me and her dressage saddle don’t get along. After riding in a another friend’s different dressage saddle, which felt great, I’m toying with looking for a lowish priced used saddle.
The horse owner has a Bruno Delgrange, which has an almost V-shaped seat (side view). I have to check but think it’s a medium tree, which is kind of surprise since the horse overall is very wide.
My other friend has a Devoucoux, not sure which model. But I think it had a much flatter middle section of the seat, and I think that’s the biggest difference for me.
What should I look out for that might fit the horse like the saddle he has but have that flatter seat for me? I’d try anything I find on him with a fitter and his owner’s approval, just trying to narrow down what I might be looking for.
