saddle...help!!

[horsesxox23]

ok i want a new english saddle and i was looking into dover saddlery and i found a dover's circuit eventer, does anyone know if circuit is a good brand, i haven't gotten a new saddle...ever, im using my moms from when she was a kid, so suggestions are needed...and i'm not rich, so the cheaper the better...but i want it to last....dang...i need help...lol...please


P.s- i was going to get a dressage saddle but i dont show dressage yet, so i want something like an all purpose, w/ a deep seat which i heard this saddle had, so i dont know, cause im not much into jumping

Only get a dressage saddle if you do dressage. You can't jump in adressage saddle, they are just not made for that. At all.

I suggest an All-Purpose Saddle from Wintec. Leather, or synthetic if you cannot afford the leather ones. In the all-purpose you can basically do whatever ye please.

Good luck saddle-shopping! =]].

dover circuits are pretty decent saddles, i know a girl who has one and it's nice =) i'm not too sure how deep of seat they have but if you get an all purpose you should be good.

When I get my leather saddle, it'll be a circuit. I love the close contact, and the eventer is nice too. I think the prices are pretty reasonable as well.

circuits are well made, i also love the old collegiate A/P's they are really well made .

Wintec!!! Get a Wintec!! They are one of the best saddle brandes there are! Also, Crosby are good. I have a crosby and it is awesome.

I have a Lancer All Purpose english saddle that I'm trying to sell, it's a 16.5 seat and it was my first saddle and worked out really well for me! I'd like to sell it for maybe $200? If anyone is interested, send me a PM.

Good Luck selling!!

The Dover Circuit is a good saddle, although I've heard that the leather has a tendency to wear, creating discoloration. Beside that, however, I think it's a good (and reasonably priced) saddle. :)

thanks guys, my mom wont let me get a wintec, she doesnt like synthetic saddles, but i think i might buy the circuit one, now if only i could convince my mom...lol

Hello! I really don't like the synthetic saddles either, but I used to own a different model of the Circuit line and loved it! Very soft leather and extremely comfortable!! The collegiates, crosby and if you can find a pessoa, they're great too! All these brands are relatively expensive though, so try and find a used one! At least you won't have to go through the pain of breaking a new one in!! :D :D
Good luck looking!!

Instead of the circuit saddle, because they didnt have it in the right seat size, i got a Henri De Rivel event saddle, it is a little more expensive, but i heard that it is a really good brand....i would like to know what u guys think??.....i have never bought a saddle(my mom has, but not for a long time)....hehe....i'm sooo excited!!!.....so is it a good brand, do any of u have one????
