Albion K2 jumping saddle...

[nomini]

Bought a brand new one, had it fitted and rode in it to try it. Had to go back to the shop to be adjusted. Picked it up yesterday and rode in it last night, feels like there is a lump under my bum - is this just likely to be excess padding there that will wear in within a few weeks, or should i get saddle fitter back out to try and sort it? Is not very comfortable to ride in at the moment...but will persevere if it is just the padding... Thanks in advance for your help

Take it back to the saddler, i don't think you should have a lump!!!
I have the jump version and it's one of the nicest saddles I have ridden in.

If *you* can feel a lump, surely the *horse* must be able to too? I'd get the saddler back out!

He's coming out tomorrow anyway to sort out a jumping saddle for Alisha. Problem is when you run your hand over it you can't feel it

maybe i just have an odd bum cos when my dad rode in it he couldn't feel anything!

I have the jumping version and love it, however my mate had the same one and kept coming back from rides with sores in a not very nice place. She thought it was just her, took it to the saddler and it had not been finished properly. There was actually a piece of metal stickign out that had been cutting in to her - not very pleasant. With this in mind i'd get it checked out and tell them your concerns

Mine definately hasn't got a bit of metal sticking out of it, just feels as if too much padding has been put in the seat! But will definately ask the saddler to hve another look tomorrow when he comes out again to sort out my mares saddle.
