Alrighty, I'm on the hunt for a new saddle. My old one doesn't fit my horse as well as I'd like and it no longer cutting it among other reasons.

What I want to know from you all is what is your favorite brand of dressage saddle and why. I've never owned a dressage saddle so I'm interested to hear what ya all have to say.

To narrow the field a bit I'm looking for leather (not synthetic, nothing against it I just like leather more). I'm not talking about price range because I really want your honest opinion on what your fav. brand really is.

Harmony Tack Shop near Smiths Falls Ontario

This is the tack shop near my house. They have LOVELY new and used tack. The saddle at the bottom of the page on the right is a BR brand dressage saddle. Very wonderful, full leather. BR is very good quality and very nice looking.
The only thing is, I would go get a used Saddle if you are not planning to compete with it. If you are, the extra 200 - 500$ to pay for a new one is a good price if you ask me. ;3

Also, I am unsure of the price, as the picture is rather blurry. xD We think it is in the 200$ - 500$ range, as is most of their tack. ;3

Thank you for the input.

The where to buy a good dressage saddle isn't really my issue though. I'm just seeing which brands of dressage saddles people like and why to help me better in deciding which ones to look more closely at. =)

I currently have a wintec Isabelle. It's a nice intermediate saddle for dressage, but i'm moving onto either a stubben or a berney. I use the berney dublin jumper for jumping. Berney is cheap, easy to order and extremely durable and well made
