I am only talking maybe once a week and nothing huge, our preferred height these days is about 55/60cms.

How secure is it likely to be, I did some little ones yesterday and it was fine with the stirrup length.
I can of course get another saddle šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ This is the first year we've only actually got the one. So...... You know I have space.
 
It's fine, and certainly at that height. I used to know someone who hunted over big country in a dressage saddle without any problems, it fitted her and the horse and she said she wasn't buying a saddle just for hunting when there was no need.

If you ever find you're feeling the need to go round 4ft courses you may find a dressage saddle isn't helping you (though it won't stop you either) but until then stop looking for excuses to go shopping 🤣
