Anyone got one? Opinions?

We've got a second hand one on trial from the saddlers atm. Nice saddle and it fits the horse really well, but lite it is not!!
 
I've got one, it definitely is light though :confused: I used my trainers before buying my second hand one, hers was the same. Lovely and secure, I like it.
 
I ride a horse in one, I agree it is quite heavy but my horse does have the Jeffries Flyover! I do like the kontact lite and am looking to buy one for my horse as he has outgrown his flyover :)
 
We've been using an amerigo CC on this horse and he is jumping really well in it, but it is not the best fit :( it's slightly too wide and even padded a little it moves more than I like. Saddler recons it would flock but not much. They want to sell me this albion but it is not cheap even second hand!

Not sure what to do!
 
Rosie won't jump in anything else (she has two) - they are expensive but they hold their value. WFP says you only need one that fits you because they fit most horses. He has about 5 though but said he mostly just uses one for all of his rides.
 
I have recently got one second hand and so far so good. I would prefer something along the lines of a Antares/butet but at the price i got my albion at it made my mind up pretty quickly!! Plus It fits my horse well
 
Thanks for the feedback, I guess I'll just have to make my mind up. I hate buying saddles :(

I was really hoping the saddler would tell me the amerigo could be adjusted to fit, not leave another saddle to try/buy. The albion does have a very nice stud girth with it, so that's a plus.
