I don't think my seat was as good as it could have been, but oh well.

My seat looks very different in a saddle that doesn't fit. My husband is 6'6" and has a 22" Pariani jumping saddle . . . when I ride in that thing I rattle around like a BB in a boxcar. I used to ride in a Gold Cup, but now that I'm old and cranky I have a 16 1/2" Courbette all-purpose hunting saddle, my trainer calls it my "Barcalounger" - it's got a deep seat and fairly prominent knee rolls for an all purpose saddle, if I snug my stirrup leathers up so that my knees are jammed under the knee rolls, I feel VERY secure (I still come off now and then though, usually when I do something stupid.)
