i was just wondering if there is any one type of saddle that is considered to be the best for their back and for muscle/joint health. or is it simply a case of using the right kind of saddle for what you're doing. i guess i can make an example. english rider who just basically does w/t/c and some hacking. no jumping. i know fitted is best ofc but i hear people say forward (jumping, english all purpose) saddles inhibit their front end and so i just wondered. oh and a second question so would an all purpose english saddle basically be what most people would use in this case? or dressage or something.. maybe personal preference.. but again i guess my choice would come back to my origional question. one thing i know is western saddles sit further down the horse's back and weigh a ton
