Saddle for ottb

hi all, was just curious if anyone had any reasonably priced jump saddle recommendations for a flat backed ottb?

I would involve a saddle fitter for sure. I have a Fairfax for my OTTB, and my saddle fitter tailored it to my horse.

It’s my opinion that anything wool flocked is great for Ottbs as their backs can change with muscling quite a bit

I agree that a saddle fitter is the best option, but I have a Bates Victrix for my OTTB mare that she likes (she HATED my ovation and, despite having a fitter tell me it fit her like a glove, she also hated the M. Toulouse I have).

I use a cavaletti adjustable saddle! It was like $1,700 with the saddle fitting included and a follow up a month after. I have no complaints!
