Something that rides like a Stubben Zaria for a wide, flat backed cob

[quarab]

Really didn’t want to make another saddle fitting thread but here we go. Test rode a Stubben Zaria that I loved but did NOT fit the mare (despite Stubben reps promises that a bigger tree size would fix it, it bridged like crazy)

Test rode some Amerigos - ok but puts me a bit forward over her shoulder. And a couple Fairfax’s - not ok I felt locked in and not in the right spot at all - felt like I could hardly hinge my hips in a rising trot. And also a Prestige - ok but felt really really wide from the twist to the seat.

So here I am asking for ideas.

I used a Lovett and Rickets on my wide mare, it worked well for us both.

Quite like the balance of the Stubben Zaria and own several. Tried very hard to get one to fit a wide backed meaty shouldered horse but could not. A friend recommended Antares. It was a process, including having to ship the saddle back to France for adjustments, but the resulting saddle fits perfectly and has a lovely balance.
