I have a coming 5 year old TB mare with a flat, narrow-ish back, decent wither, and uneven but not huge shoulders; she needs a saddle with a pretty flat/straight tree. I am working with a fitter/BC rep and she fitted the horse into a Dante Vinici–however, that saddle does not exist new or used in my price range, so looking for other options. County and Albion have been suggested as possibilities also. My original intent was to stick with the wool-flocked, English bench-made type saddles, but I am open to looking outside of that as I am not finding much to try right now! As the horse is young and changing shape (already outgrew the first jump saddle I had for her) I do not want to spend more than $2k–would rather wait and budget for something more customized in a year or so when she stops growing.
Thanks!
