We’ve had the dentist, the vet out for vaccinations (and uploaded them onto the EGB website), we’ve had the Physio, the farrier has been and Estrid has new shoes after a winter barefoot, I’ve had the tow vehicle serviced, we’ve entered our first ride and have been consistently training, so having Reactor panel out to check our saddle fit felt like the last piece of the preparation puzzle before we let fate decided if we make it to our first competition of 2025!
They very excitingly bought along their new saddle designs and the new panel system for me to see as I’m tentatively thinking about getting a new saddle if we start to up the distance. I’m particularly excited about the new panel system and not having to rely on velcro for the placements of the panels.
I love my current saddle but the stirrup bars are a little forward for my liking so I was keen to try something different. I still hate knee rolls but the saddle I tried had the softest, comfiest seat I have ever placed my butt on in my whole life! I think my choice is going to be the new panel system with a dressage tree (for the stirrup bar placement) and a GP/ more traditional cut with knee blocks I can take out… well that’s what I dream of when I don’t think about my bank balance!
