vienna II dressage saddle

shamrock84 · 08-01-2008, 04:27 PM

I'm getting a new saddle.....I'm also selling my wonderful(for me) Bernina saddle. It's too narrow for my horse.
Has anyone ridden in a vienna II (made by Thornhill)?

I haven't ridden in one, but Grace has a Thornhill dressage saddle and I just bought her a new dressage saddle, because the quality of the Thornhill is so poor. I bought it for $200 used, thinking it would get her by, but I just can't make her ride in it! If for no other reason than because the seat is so dang slippery, no matter what I do to it.

I have a Marcel Toulouse dressage saddle, which is priced pretty similarly to the Thornhill Vienna II, and I LOVE it. It is hands down the most comfortable saddle I have ever sat in in my life, and it fits my horse to a tee. My trainer loves it too, which is unusual for such an inexpensive saddle.

If I don't like it it will go back!
