Choosing the right saddle for your horse is so important but not always easy! I currently have 4 very different horses from a cob pony to a warmblood mare, and share here about the saddles I'm currently using.
Some links to the saddles I discuss:
Total Contact Saddle: total-contact.co.uk/
Edix Saddles: www.edixsaddles.com/en/
Heather Moffet Saddles: www.hmsaddles.com/

I have a Peter Horobin saddle with a stride free tree. It can be adjusted to fit any horse by a qualified saddle fitter. I and my horse love it!

My horses and I love our Total Contact Saddle! 😃❤️ (We of course use it with a pad plus the TCS saddle seat pad.)

I have several Heather Moffett saddles but they’re very bouncy being foam filled

Do you think the epix saddle is stable and not bouncy since no tree? I really like this saddle. Thanks for your info

This is a flexi tree so it’s got a structure, it’s just flexible. It doesn’t bounce at all on Freckles and is lovely to ride in. I recommend you contact Edix directly for more info as they’ll be able to answer any Q’s you have 😊

What’s you’re opinion on bareback pads in specific Barefoot ride on pad physio? My horse has kind of poor trapezius muscle from poor saddle fit and is recovering from that but still not perfect, would u recomend those pads?

Hey, bareback pads can be great for some horses and riders. The pros are that they're entirely flexible and soft so you don't have problems with pressure points or them fitting badly. Cons can be that it's harder for the rider to be in the right position without the twist and support (that can be a con for the rider and also the horse if it means the rider can't be as balanced and aligned), and also that you can also create pressure points under the rider's seatbones if riding in them for a while. Thicker pads are better for that. Also, some have stirrups without any way to distribute that pressure which can also lead to pressure points. So, overall, I love bareback pads for starting or restarting horses under saddle and for light work both in the arena and out hacking, but I prefer to change to a saddle for more demanding exercises. When rebuilding muscle like you are, they can be a good option. And, as always, your horse will tell you if he's happy with it or not by how he responds when you tack up mount, and ride and his opinion is always the most important :-) Thanks for your Q and happy horse training!
