Just wondering if anyone has an Anky dressage saddle? I have no idea who makes them -are there lots of them? I think GFS do an Anky but i've no idea?
I just wondered if anyone has one or has ridden in one?
The saddler I use has been trying to find something for Mr D since June and is having no joy- he was sure he'd get an Ideal Jessica in but still hasn't had one.

We've tried a Harry Dabs, a Jeffries something or other, borrowed an Amerigo, a KN, and a Jeffries VSD show saddle. The brand new Ideal jessica was fine but way out of budget hence waiting for a 2nd hand one.
Sorry to ramble on but saddler now thinks he has an Anky that will fit so I just wanted to seek you guys' opinions about it.
 
Can't edit the post but it looks like Pessoa do an 'Anky' as well

And that I might have misread the GFS thing too.

Cant help you with where to find one hun, but I asked Huw what his views were and he slated them! I have however just bought my girl a very cute little Anky bridle

It's Huw who thinks he has one for me

It looks my sort of seat though in the saddle so it's whether it A) fits or is B) in budget which I highly doubt

Anky are from the GFS / Pessoa stable though i prefer my Jessica- there are loads on Ebay around the £300 mark- if you know your size then your saddler could fit it for you!
 
Flippin Heck! There are LOADS on there!

Thanks for signposting me there!

Unfortunately I really want the saddler to fit it for us. It's a bit complicated but I used a saddler who fitted us badly and a year later my horse went 'not right' and the saddle was part of the problem. The saddler I use now is absolutely 100% brilliant and I trust him implicitly (more fool me perhaps!) and he's taken his time to fit us a GP, travelling 2 hours, and he really deserves the sale. (that sounds really pretentious

) I know he wouldn't sell me anything for the sake of it so I really have to wait until he finds something. Plus payment options are better with him!

i have tryed a gfs anky one, when i was looking for my first dressage saddle and ahted it; i found it very wide and realy quite uncomfortable
 
Can I ask what people didn't like about them please? I rode in a KN and really disliked it. The seat was so flat, enormous and slidey. I like a deep seat and big knee blocks. (or normal knee blocks)
