Still Loving My London!

[JulesP]

Thought I would do an update as I have had the saddle for a while now. Pony is still happy and I am still loving it. Pony was a bit girthy before the London and a couple of months into the London she is still happy to be girthed. Her back is looking nice and strong, no physical problems happening.

I still feel like I ride well in it. Rising trot is sooo easy. It is putting me in a good position and not interferring with my riding.

Probably my only whinge is I am not 100% happy with the girth as it galls pony. The wintec girth didn't give as good stability. I am using a sleeve on the girht which is stopping the galling.

I have also ordered the turtle as the old hips are a bit dodgy and a bit more of a twist would be nice. Hopefully it will be here soon!  

It is probably the first saddle that I have continued to like after the intial breaking in period.

For girths - I've just bought an Aerborn (I think?) waffle weave girth - it was £19 from my local saddlers - really comfy for Ebby, and I think much nicer than the Wintec ones -  it's shaped as well, and is elasticated. It worked great yesterday when we were going down hills

I like me stubben neoprene girth, its nice and wide!

huumfff can't get heaps of this stuff in Australia. Don't think the Stubben was small enough either. Need a 16 inch girth.
