just looked at a prestige hippo. any good? sounds ideal so far - cut back head, freedom through the shoulder, good for short legged people like me, fits tbs well ....

Absolut Executive Jockey (393) | Have you talked to Sue at saddle4you.co.nz?
Or perhaps Chris at Horsesports could help, also Sharon at Canterbury Equestrian is very knowlegable and stocks a number of different brands of saddles.

he does fit a maestro but i need an 18". they never seem to come up for sale and bates no longer make them  |
I think one of my friends is selling an 18" - I'll ask her and get back to you

Any chance a 17.5inch could be okay? There are a couple on TM atm. |
i've just brought a 17.5" for tui, but tai really needs the 18" - thats why i sold all my maestros to begin with

no, but its knowing which ones to try - i haven't seen any with cut back heads or that are even remotely wide enough |
these are the dressage saddles: http://www.stuebben.com/start.php?lg=gb ... amp;top2=9
and gullet sizes can go up to a 34 (or 33.5, can't remember which) which which is like an xx-wide
demo saddles are available in a 31 gullet, but you can get a 32 to try out.
and the dressage saddles available in nz are the maestoso and the genesis, the portos will be coming soon
