I currently have a Courbette Vision Event Saddle...... love it!  However, my very hard to fit horse (a 15.2 Appendix QH) is always changing shape, even in consistent work, so it doesn't fit him more than it does.  The other problem is that I am 13 and 5'6" with VERY long legs(hip to knee). My leg is at the very end of my horse's belly in jump length. The vision fit my leg when I bought it, but now in jump/xc length my knee goes over the blocks. I also have an older custom Schleese dressage saddle. We were looking at used ones and the first one we tried fit! And for only a thousand!But it is almost to straight for me. But I'm willing to keep it.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good FORWARD event saddle for 1200 and below. I would prefer something with a change gullet so I was looking at the Wintec Pro Jump. I'm going to try someone at my barn's. Also the Ovation 4* Event. Heard it was good for long legs. 

 

Also, does anyone know how forward the flap goes? With money being so tight right now, I thought it might be a good Idea, but I've never actually seen one so does anyone know about them? It looks nice, but it all depends on how forward the flap will go. I like to ride in super short stirrups for jumping.

So I really just don't know what to do. Any advise appreciated!  

You might want to try to Collegiate Senior Event model. The newer ones have the gullet change system. I have an older one, and have the opposite problem as you - I'm very short (5') and it's a 17" so the flaps are too long for me. It has a forward cut, though, and is a bit easier to jump in than other event models.
