Choosing the John Whitaker Rio jump saddle

The 15.5-inch seat and medium gullet provide useful starting points when assessing whether this saddle may be suitable, but they should not be treated as a guarantee of fit. Saddle shape, panel contact and the requirements of the horse and rider all need to be considered. Professional saddle fitting may be appropriate before purchase or use, particularly when changing saddles or buying for a different horse.
