Love my Dp Doma saddle, I have been riding in this saddle for several months now and it really is wonderful. It has made such a difference to my horse and my riding. The only way I can really describe it is that when I am riding I feel like I am part of my horses movement, and we are working together as one. He is also so much more responsive to my seat ! When I ordered it I was a little worried because I thought the gallery looked "funny", but it works so well. It is firm and supportive and I feel totally secure in it but it does not get in the way like the knee pads or horns on many saddles. I also really like the stirrup leathers under the saddle flap, they are less fixed then fender leathers and more stable then english leathers. This saddle gives me really good balance, close contact and a secure feel, the spinal clearance is great and its light and easy to move and lift . I am also noticing that I can spend more hours in the saddle and my knees and back don't get sore at all. We just love it, Thank you. ️️
