Saddles, Saddles! Today I had to take my JRD dressage saddle in to find out it really isn't working. What? Are you sure?  I don't remember having these issues in the 80's.  Maybe we did and I just never paid attention.  We look @ a full custom and sit in it to see if it feels OK.  Of course it feel great, but the 6000+ price tag is not a fit!  I settle on a Revere and there goes my lessons for months.  I know that a dressage saddle really needs to fit us both.  It really does help my riding and I am sure it feels better for the horse.
