That is the only picture I have of it period...<br /><br />I will say this has larger rear panels (I think 1.5" higher) than the demo. It has a nice balance instead of being pommel high.

Cause to be honest, I didn't like how it sat on him in the pic you posted a while back of the demo saddle.<br /><br />I'd probably return it and stash the cash for later. Since you can reorder it, and you don't really plan on using it for a while, I'd send it back and order it again later when Stinker is ready to jump.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318842770364105067.post-43928497600285633782016-02-22T10:01:34.232-06:002016-02-22T10:01:34.232-06:00It does fit him.

I'd return it now, ride in what works for you, borrow the trainer's saddle as he comes back, and then if he decides he wants to jump and you decide you want to jump him, re-order at that point. <br /><br />Otherwise, you're running a very real risk of sticking yourself with a expensive resale.<br /><br />It's a lovely saddle though. :-) You'll still have your excellent taste later.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.com
