I don't have the cwd budget or my own personal Mary, but I've ridden in enough saddles that I know what I like and I know what I look for. I consider myself really lucky right now to have two saddles that fit myself and my horse really quite well.

My lower leg has been my kryptonite, until I sat and rode in my custom saddle. Did the Antares fix all of my problems? Heck no. But it did help to correct my lower leg position and made me feel more stable over fences. I had never ridden in a custom saddle before I got mine, and now I understand WHY people get custom saddles haha. <br /><br />So glad you love your CWD! :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297192461648201907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-54631126218175088942015-02-15T22:55:53.922-05:002015-02-15T22:55:53.922-05:00Congrats on the saddle working out so well!!Congrats on the saddle working out so well!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-74342833920752324472015-02-15T21:50:30.938-05:002015-02-15T21:50:30.938-05:00I'm a short-legged person too.

I also like their jumps (and also Loxley) because they do 13-13.5" standard jump flaps. 14" jump flaps are just too long for me. Short lower leg ppl, unite! Of note, I'm 5'5", so you wouldn't think this would be a problem for me :)2LeftSockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414707358481052987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-69064142040353208442015-02-15T17:46:06.547-05:002015-02-15T17:46:06.547-05:00How awesome!!!

Oh well, you live and you learn! I am reading The Horse's Pain-Free Back and Saddle Fit Book right now which is opening my eyes to so many more things to keep in mind, so it's been interesting to read that as you are talking about fitting and riding in a saddle that actually fits both of you!
