We currently have mostly Wintec saddles, and I just sold my Stubben (horses grew out of it).

Passier Vector & Wintec 500 Dressage (in the same picture!)

The Passier (left) is an older saddle that fits my SO and our mares nicely. It has more of a 'half deep' seat compared to the newer dressage saddles.

The 500 Dressage is a nice day to day saddle, while we save the money for a nice leather saddle. I use it for lessons and trails. It fits 3 of our 4 horses well.

Wintec 500 AP (10 years old ish)
Thi sis our big draft gelding's saddle. While I occassionally will use it on the mares for XC, I'm not particularly fond of it. It puts you in a heinous chair seat if you're not in two point

.

Stubben Sigfried VSD
I just sold this saddle, which I adored. Very nice leather, great balance, comfortable saddle.

Right now, I have 2 saddles.

My dressage is a Thornhill Vienna II (19" seat, 36cm tree). I use this one on both my DraftX (pictured) and my Arab gelding (with the use of a special pad):

My trail saddle is a Circle Y Topeka (same color, but mine has wood stirrups):

My next saddle with either be a Thornhill Berlin or a Freeform (either Classic, Liberty or Enduro).

Circle Y Roper... I LOoooove it.

Circle Y Team Penner

Best saddle I've ever had... it's never going to leave me.

I have an Antares custom. Not customized to my horse. It's buffalo leather..and absolutely amazing. So comfortable! I love it..and if it fit my horse right, we'd be keeping it forever.

I did 3' and 3'3" courses in this, as well as fences up to 4'3"+. Kept me very secure..thank goodness!!
