And we’re there...

A lot of people rebadged ideals and sold them as their own brand back in the day Ive been told!

I love the older style ones on my chunky horse with a huge shoulder. I have an ideal event (MW) for his jump saddle and a suzannah (W) for his dressage.

I did wonder if that’s why, tbh I don’t care particularly, but like to know what I’m getting.

It’s the newer gullet version. I love the HM seat and Monkey likes serge so I’m hopeful, but a bit wary about weight on it, I’m at the top end of what HM suggests.

Only just seen this.
Have you tried it on. Usually with the rider nearer the top end of the right limit I suggest going for the pads designed to cater for that such as the Barefoot Physio.
However as it's an HM they may well do their own pads.
I think you can still get fitters for these saddles as someone took the business over when Heather retired. Though I could be mixing that up with the Paddles that are out there.

I didn’t even sit in it, it looked ok until I girthed it up then it shifted right forward, he really needs a point strap (which the flexee doesn’t have). I have got a skito pad for the Freeform and a pro choice air ride, but the girthing just means it’s not worth messing with.

No if it's totally off initially it's not worth adjusting.

I swear I drove past and Monkey was in the right place, I park up and walk back through 2 minutes later and he has gone over 1 electric fence and through 2 more to get back into the winter field and that’s the 3rd time this week! It’s his stomach driving him.

So I set about fixing fences and testing them, making sure 4 km’s of fence was working as it should. Then I started ragworting and quickly realised that has gotten away from me, so went and loaded the backpack sprayer and did about 4 acres, it most definitely needed doing! Then I went to reset the fences in the summer field, and divided that into 3 as there’s TONS of grass in there. As I was doing it Monkey was threatening to go over/through a fence again to get to me And after all that I was aching so didn’t ride I put the bigs out on the summer field for an hour,

and Dan out on the track for 20 minutes, had a brief sit down and got everyone back and went home for dinner, I was starving as I didn’t get lunch!
