I have recently been looking into getting more of a jump saddle and have had an Albion kontact to try. I wasn't necessarily after a specialist xc saddle, just wanted something a bit more than my gp to tackle bigger showjumping tracks in and xc. I do however like it as I am quite long in the leg...

Thank you for your reply. Yes he will swing along at home, and let go and also warming up at a show. It might even be me that gets a bit tighter when go in the arena, but next time I will go for the less is more appoach. Make sure he's all supple and not ask him to be "up" as much. All trial and...

Hey does anyone know if there was a photographer there today and who it was?
