What do you guys suggest in terms of Dressage saddles, on the cheaper side. I have a Collegiate, but I don't like how the seat isn't deap and there are barely any knee rolls.

Has anyone had a Wintec Isabelle? I know that you can get them cheap on ebay, and they have the adjustable knee and thigh blocks, and a deep seat. Are they comfortable though?

I really like my Collegiate Jumping saddle, but this Dressage one really isn't doing it for me. Could it just be the model, and if so what other Collegiate Dressage saddles are there.

Oh and also feedback on the County Connection.

I'm in the process of buying a Circuit...I've been riding in it for about a month- its styled very similar to a Kieffer (which I LOVE)

Its made/sold by Dover. Its GREAT!!! About $700.00 new.

I've the Wintec Isabelle.If you don't mind the synthetic quality then the saddle is awesome.The seat is very deep,it is comfortable for horse and rider,gullets are exchangable,it places my entire body in a good possition and let's me ride affectively.
I would search through dovers saddle collection,they let you try out saddles.That way you can compare and test a couple of different ones before you decide on buying.

I think I did, the only problems is the ones they offer the ride first trial on are SO expensive!!

I think I may look into the Wintec, I am not showing at all for the rest of the year so I may have some extra cash by the end of the year, I just hate my saddle, it is cumfy and all, I just slide around so much.

find a nice, old, used Kieffer.

I really like the Courbette Magic. It fits a wide variety of horses and is VERY comfy! My friend has the AP model and it's so lovely to ride in. The retail price is $699, so quite affordable too. Here's one for $629.

What size seat and tree do you need? I got an email about a saddle sale. I'll check and see if there is one on there that would work for you.

I am a 17" and medium tree.

The Magic would definitely be a good one for you then, if you want to try that.

On the sale flyer there was a 17" Galant Dressage in black for $819 (retail $1,834) and a 17.5 De Kunffy in dark brown for $969 (retail over $2,200). These are brand new saddles, just overstocks. I'll PM you the link if you're interested. I'm getting my daughter one of the kids saddles off of it. It should be here next week!

I thought Corbette wasn't good quality? Correct me if I am wrong.

Yep, the link would be lovely
