What is the best brand of inexpensive saddle as a first saddle if you ride hunter jumper over small fences?
AMAZINGshowjumper
Crosby Saddles. I have just started jumping and am looking for a Crosby saddle. They are amazing!
You may also want to look for a used saddle.
Wintec is also a good brand to look at. They make good quality synthetic saddles. Synthetic means that they are made without leather, shortening the expected lifespan of the saddle, but making it cheaper and easier to care for. Most Wintec saddles also have an adjustable gullet system so you can change the saddle to fit the horse more easily.
If you are going to be showing though, you should check if synthetic saddles are accepted in your area.

What is the difference between a hunt saddle and a dressage saddle?
There's no such thing as a show saddle, unless you mean a saddle you use exclusively for shows. A dressage saddle has a very deep seat to help the rider sit and a long, straight saddle flap to accommodate the longer leg position. The girth straps are also quite long so that the short dressage girth does not hinder the leg laying flat. Typically the saddles used in hunter/jumper shows are of medium depth with a more forward cut flap.
The working hunter saddle is a compromise between which two saddles?
It is a cross between a classic dressage saddle and a close contact jumping saddle - also known as a VSD or "all purpose" saddle. It is meant for flatwork and low jumps. These types of saddles in the USA have a bit of a more forward flap and higher cantle, while those made in England proper have a straighter flap and lower cantle. The English-made saddles are more true to the idea of the working hunter saddle and are generally of much better quality than those widely distributed in the USA. In addition, you will find these saddles referred to as "GP or AP" saddles in the USA, and as "working hunter" saddles in England.
