I have a 6 (tomorrow) Welsh Section D. He was backed at 5 and I bought his first saddle, a Kent and Masters GP. It is a perfectly nice saddle, cost me about £800, but he has (inevitably) changed shape and I am waiting for it to be refitted. I also ride him in an old WOW dressage (more VSD than full dressage, if that makes sense.) I am riding in the WOW now but it drives me crazed as it creaks. The WOW fitter has told me that because of the age of the saddle and the material it is made of the creaking is not solevable. He is turning out to be a fantastic pony (IMO) and I think he will be capable of doing a little bit of everything at the riding club level I want to ride at. And he will definitely be staying with me forever. While I am waiting for the K&M to be refitted I have started thinking as I am likely to be riding him for 15+ years should I invest in a “good” saddle or stick with the K&M? My budget would be max £3000. Any recommendations on what I could get, am thinking GP, maybe VSD. So far have looked at WOW and Solution Saddles. Does more ££££ mean better? Ideas?

Saddles - worth spending more?
