New saddle launched to fit wide horses

Saddle manufacturer “Ideal” has added a new product to its range to suit wide horses.

The FWB VSD Cut saddle can be used for flatwork and jumping and is available in four colours – black, sala, military or ranch – in sizes 16½” to 18″.

“The saddle is designed to give maximum stability to a difficult-to-fit sector of the market,” said a spokesman for Ideal.

It is part of the company’s wide fitting collection – which includes three other saddles – and costs £1173.
