"I feel like William Fox-Pit on her" golden, absolutely golden :)

Girl, I know exactly how you are feeling! A proper fitting saddle is so important to your job and training yet the good ones cost so much! I just had to order a custom for my mare because her and I are very hard to fit and practically nothing used or off the rack works for both of us. I’m now paying my ‘saddle mortgage’ for the next 36 months 😂 totally worth it though. It’s a jump saddle so now I need to pay off the new saddle in order to get a dressage saddle. I love the blue piping on that one jump saddle 💙

Keelari hahah I admire your dedication, 100% worth it! 😍

The second i got a dressage saddle with large built in thigh blocks, i realized i could never go back. I love how secure my legs feel now and how much lighter my seat has gotten. I went from a wintec to a bates😍

Love the matching blue piping and stirups on the jumping saddle😍

“ i’m officially in debt with mom for life.” omg same like literally i can never pay my parents back

I have just had a brand new Harry Dabbs made for my mare, it really does make you feel very special sitting in a new saddle.

Many years ago I worked in a big competition yard at Milton Keynes, a dressage rider had several horses at livery one of which was at Grand Prix level and I got to have a sit on him which was wow, like you I fount the dressage saddle forced you into position but what an experience. I haven’t ridden for over twenty years but love following you it gives me the chance to ride again through you and your stunning horses thank you Meghan.

Fab vlog as always! The dressage saddle looks like a good fit generally but i did notice some lifting at the back of the jumping saddles in rising trot - but I am sure your saddle fitter was able to sort that with some adjustments to the flocking. It is my pet peeve seeing saddles lift off horses backs in trot because I used to trust a saddle fitter who failed to address that issue and my pony had a very sore back for many years and whenever we had her out to check the saddle because I knew something was wrong, she would simply recommend a new saddle which was still the wrong shape for my boy! I was new, novice horse owner I took what the saddle fitter said as gospel and kept having the physio out to my boy to help his sore back and it wasnt until a few years later when I was in my mid teens I realised what was happening wasnt normal and I had a made to measure saddle from a master saddler made for my boy and he has been awesome ever since and built so much more muscle from being able to move freely and comfortably!

I'm one of those weird people who prefers riding in a dressage saddle unless I am actually jumping which a very rarely do. On something young or sharp I feel so much safer being able to wrap my legs around the horse and sit deep as opposed to feeling like I'm sat on a shelf in a jumping saddle so my dream saddle would be an Albion SLK 😍, I really don't like Devo's, I think I'm the only person in the world who doesnt!! 🤷‍♀️

Same here, I definitely prefer a dressage saddle. I bought a jumping saddle for my new horse, only because the person selling it described it as an all purpose and since I’m not a saddle expert, I didn’t know it was a jumping saddle. It honestly feels more like an all purpose though, the flaps aren’t super forward and they’re also not much shorter. I’ve ridden in it once so far and was a bit wary of it, I want to ride in it some more soon when the weather gets better here lol

Has anyone tried a CWD 2G?

I love the new sadle with the blue piping on it 🤩 My dressage sadle is a prestige, really nice quality, and really comfy! My all purpose sadle is a kieffer, nice and comfy on hacks, but it has dressage cut so not so nice when jumping bigger fences 😅, but we’re managing! Best of luck with your new saddles! They are lovely 🤩

Nice! Congratulations on the new saddles! 😁😊 Lara looked really happy in the dressage saddle 😁👍🏻✌🏻

Proper fitting saddles is critica. Often people dont realize how important for their backs. Congrats on new saddles! Best of luck!

I love your new jumping saddles 😍

Not like I’ve been waiting or anything 😂❤️

Jams canter looks so smooth lysm❤️

Loved seeing your saddle fitting process!

Love this! I have the Equipe dressage saddle and love it! It's so comfortable, although does take some getting used to!

i really want a dressage saddle now!!

Great video! You're so lucky to have so many gorgeous pon pons !!

I know that weird feeling of finally riding in a proper dressage saddle...>..>.it almost feels claustrophobic like “oh no I’m trapped by this thing!” Plus I’ve always ridden in a close contact, no knee rolls jumping saddle (Crosby sovereign- old as dirt now, but fits like a glove). I finally gave into the “proper” dressage pressure and ended up with a Passier (SP?).....it’s more like riding a cloud with knee braces, but....I’m doing it!! I loved your video. Your pony Laura seemed to go extremely well in your new dressage saddle......hats off to you hopping on an unfamiliar in so many ways saddle and still getting her to go so well!

Love the dressage saddle! I ride Western, but have just started riding dressage. I am fortunate enough to have my trainer sell me a Custom Corbet Dressage Saddle for a really reasonable price.

my favourite saddle is my kent &masters s-series low profile for my fjordhorse :D it's so nice

Favourite saddle of yours or favourite saddle? Because it's kind of hard to mean something about saddles you haven't ridden in. Personally I'm not a fan of Equipe or Devoucoux, I prefer prestige or Passier saddles, I also love the Windsor jumping saddles as there's no way to fall off from a buck in them, and I loved my Pessoa PDS Euro dressage saddle, so comfy.

your so kind to your ponies

I’m about to go into a horse mortgage from the bank of MAD ( mum and dad ) so I’m feeling your anxiety....

Second!!

my favourite saddle is my bates GP saddle

Pls do a tack room tour 🙏🏻🙏🏻
