Tried a Vogue!!! Pics too!

[drummersmum]

and now I NEED one! ;D

I already have a Fhoenixbut today a friend let me try her Vogue on Livvi and Drummer and I can't praise it enough! I think the biggest difference was the width, I fekt that I could actually drop my thigh and use my leg without my fat getting in the way and for the first time ever I took my stirrups away and sat the trot on Drummer, something I just can't do inmy Fhoenix, I just can get my hips round him to stay stable!

So a couple of pics

Me and Livvi



and looking rather large on Drummer but he didn't seem to mind! Mt Fhoenix is a 17" but I felt much more comfy in the 18" Vogue.....I have been squshing myself into the Fhoenix for the past 3 years!


and jumpies with knee rolls yipeeeeeeeeee!

That looks nice. We are trialling the Vogue GP one this week.

You definitely need a Vogue Em! I have a Fhoenix for Cherry but she has got shall we say a little rotund during the summer, and boy is it stretching my hips . Olivia as I recall is even wider than Cherry so I sympathise

The Vogue makes a huge difference!

[drummersmum]

;D yes, width is a problem!

nars how did you get on?

I am actually sitting here patiently (or not!!) waiting for a trial saddle to arrive! I am trying the Vogue GPT in a 17" as a possibility and because Fiona has a 2nd that is a bit cheaper

Oh my poor credit card!

We have the GPS on trial and love it. Given my dodgy pelvis, I can cope with the Vogue in a way I couldn't with the older models.

Horses so far seem to like it although Lyle goes better in the Thorowgood T4 (he seems to really love that saddle).

It is the nearest english saddle I can find to the feel of our western saddles The leg position is really good too.

[drummersmum]

Well, we have had the trial saddle all week and I am in love!

This is the 17" GPT on Livvi


I Have tried the 17" GPS too and liked it but I am in love with the GPT knee rolls, its fab for jumping Drummer ;D

[nars]

I'm not used to using knee rolls. I usually take them out on any english saddle if I can so the GPS is ideal for us. I can see if you like jumping a lot that the GPT would feel good with the knee blocks though.

[drummersmum]

Well, I bought one ;D

[nars]

Yes. Me too!

We are very lucky ladies, although my credit card doesn't think so!

[nars]

Neither does mine!
