I picked up a Kent and masters GPD saddle today and love it but money is a little tight and the saddlery doesnt stock the same model in TG so would have to order one from somewhere else.
I love the K and M and will prob keep that but if the TG fits exactly the same then financially it would be sensible to go for it instead  Undecided

Thanks  Smiley

Yes, I have a kent and masters after having a fitting with a thorowgood.

Love my leather though!  If you can afford it keep the K and M.

is GPD like slightly dressage?

I found the K&M really uncomfortable immediately - in a chuff chaffe sort of way. Marley liked it though. The TG is slightly better but if I'd known it was the same as the KM I would probably not have bought it.  Must be my conformation. ouch

Ooh  ouch.  Have you tried an HM seat saver?,  I schooled and then hacked out in my new saddle tonight and found it very comfy, it has a really soft seat, normally I dont ride without my seat saver but it was fine.  nod

Funny isn't it. Yes I tried the HM but find the Mattes sheepskin better for this particular problem.  Cheesy
