Years of saving for a dressage saddle and having to use the money for other 'things' meant I had time to fully research the saddle market over a long period of time. New types of saddle appeared with lateral flexion, Flair, part treed and interchangeable gauge heads, the list goes on. I started looking at treeless saddles but none looked conventional enough to compete in until I saw the Solution saddle.
When I had the opportunity to try a test ride in a Solution saddle I took the offer.
I was immediately told by my friend I was sitting up straight and I was totally comfortable straight away.
My horse was walking freely and stretching, and I never thought much about it until I asked for trot, I still let him have his head and the change was incredible.
He was forward, springy and soft and when I took up a contact he was so powerful, just like he used to be!
I had a canter and he kept in the pace without being chased and I even popped a cross pole - and didn't buck on landing. (Phew).
My horse has very defined shoulder blades and sprung ribs and was a wide fit in a treed saddle.
I had to buy The Solution saddle and I have never regretted it. It fits both my horses with slightly different padding and they both love it.
I have now had the opportunity to fit Solution saddles to a number of horses and the results are stunning. Other Solution owners still tell me how pleased they are with the saddle and are happy to 'spread the word'. I would encourage everyone to try a Solution saddle. |
