I am looking at a Wow at the moment. I had a fitting and she is in 16" panels and then I fit a 17" seat. We tried 17" panels and it did look too long. I thought it gave me a great feeling of the horse underneath.
I am trying riding in some others, but so far it seems a great option. B
"The saddle has never disappeared, and the only problem is that you have to be fairly balanced or you will pull it sideways (really a good thing for improving your seat!). " - Etoile
Etoile, this sounds a bit scary. I think I would go back to the fitter and see what they can do about it. What if horse moves sharply sideways or teletransports like me does from time to time?
Have to agree there arachnid, when riding a sharp or young horse the last thing you need is a saddle that slips, however good your balance. Bareback would be preferable to that
