Thornhill
Zurich Platinum
Dressage Saddles
Manufacturer: Thornhill
Model: Zurich Platinum
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought the saddle new from an Ontario dealer for Thornhill. I paid CDN $1,995.00 plus taxes.
Likes: I love the way it fits me and my horse. I am short (5'2") and heavy. I prefer a saddle that isn't bulky, so that I can feel my horse and actually affect him with my leg and seat.
The narrow twist really helps in this regard, as it allows my legs to hang down -- instead of out. My tendency is to ride with my lower leg too far back. With the slightly forward flap, I am correctly positioned.
The Zurich is extremely comfortable without being a "sofa".
Dislikes:
Quality: The saddle is made of excellent quality leathers, and looks to be very well constructed.
Summary: I had lost faith about finding a superior saddle off the rack, at a reasonable cost.
I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, as is my horse!
