First of all check your price range, sure you dont have to go and get the ,most expensive saddle on the market, however you do pay for what you get. You need something that will fit both the horse and the rider. I recomend stongly that you go through a saddler and he will give professional advice on what route to take.
I reccomend: Martin Wilkinson (UK)
Chris Ghols (UK)
I have used them both for my saddles, i was espesially plesed with Chris Ghol.
But dont think that just because you are going through a saddeler that the prices with be high, you can ask for second hand or the lower price ranges.
A saddle is a very imporatnt part of riding UNLESS BAREBACK! , A bad saddle can cause a bad and that is when your horse will start to nap, buck, reer... so on. Go through a Saddeler and dont just buy a saddle of a friend or a random shop thinking that you can fit it yourself!! x
The most expensive 1 probably! The 1 I got was recommended by pro and was SWEET!
This depends on what you mean by 'best for eventing'. You'll get the best results from a dressage saddle in the dressage phase. After that you can use either the same jumping saddle for stadium and cross country or you can buy two seperate saddles for each jumping phase.
If you want one saddle then a eventing or all purpose saddle with a forward flap would work best over most fences and jumps.
For two saddles, a specialized eventing saddle and a seperate jumping saddle for stadium. Eventing saddles for cross country will have very forward flaps for galloping and stadium jumping saddles will be a bit deeper in the seat for higher jumps.
The brand doesn't matter as much, so long as it fits the hrose and rider correctly and will hold up to the amount of use you intend for it.
