Fairfax Gareth Dressage Saddle

Postby blob » Thu May 02, 2019 12:43 am

Curious if anyone has any experience with this saddle or other fairfax saddles...

I like the variety of adjustability and they appear well built, but I haven't ridden in one nor do I know anyone who has.

I haven't seen a Fairfax saddle in person, but I just took a look at their jumping saddles (in the market for one). It looks like there's a saddle fitter who works with them in my area, so I'm going to make an appointment.

I'm definitely interested to hear how it goes and what you think of the Fairfax saddles you try.

What I've managed to gather from the interwebs so far is that the saddles are well made and trees please a lot of horses, but riders tend to love or hate it (or at least with the dressage saddles).

I briefly owned a FairFax jumping/all-purpose saddle. Lovely and quality-made, HEAVY saddle. I was one of those people who didn't care for how it fit me.

I pulled the plug and had the saddle shipped over to me for trial. It should arrive Friday, so I'll be sure to share my thoughts.
