Re: [RC] more saddle confusion - Truman PrevattAlice Yovich wrote:Poppy cock. English saddles work just fine and lots of people ride them at all distances. As far as your horse good luck - that's a very difficult conformation to fit in any but a custom saddle. I have one of those - nice wither, spreading to a wide back very quickly. Mine also has a straight back that is also very short. He'll be able to carry a ton in the saddle if I can find the right saddle.competing ... the saddle fitter and I had discussed an English style endurance saddle or a dressage saddle so I could have one saddle for both sports. He's very wide and his back is fairly straight. I was all set to look for an english saddle, but then was told that they aren't great for distance. Is that true? or is it completely individual to the horse?
