recommendations on Jumping saddles that hold you in with sufficient knee blocks but allow movement over a bigger fence. Any favourites? What do you use?

Do you want a deeper seat, a flat seat, or even something in between?

a flatter seat but deep enough to offer security I really like the GFS pro jump but I am struggling to find one in my budget (about 400 - 500 max)

I have a Pessoa Legacy XP3
Lovely flat seat, but feels secure when riding,
movable knee and thigh blocks has two knee blocks so once can be taken out for flatwork but there is still one there
It is extremley comfy, comfiest saddle I have ever sat on! Albion and Jeffries feel horrible compared to it!
definately reccomended!
I know they are rather a lot,but you can get a second hand pessoa for about 500.

personally if you can stand the uncomfyness the stuben jumps saddles are excellent but they are pricey and hard as hell to sit on but they are very secure, they only really suit finer built things though in my expereience
my saddle is a saddle company verona i think its called its an event saddle so a little deeper seat which is nice but i would prefer something slightly flatter, the blocks are moveable so you can put them futher forward or back incase you want to ride shorter or longer, i have very long legs so find it tricky to find a saddle my leg stays in but this saddle fits really well, its also half synthetic so dead light and a relatively well priced saddle, i think i paid £650 which isnt too bad for a new saddle,and i had the seat made swuede on it so its grippy
also ridden in a preige which is gorgeous but super pricey, and a pessoa which was awful and weighed a ton, you could hardly feel the horse through the flaps on it

I have a Stubben, it does have a hardish seat but I don't find it a problem (I have a fair bit of self padding though!) - it is the best jumping saddle I've ridden in for me (and I tried stacks), thorourghly recommend it

second the albion k2, they are unbelievably comfy and the knee and thigh rolls keep your leg secure

Henri de Rivel Ambassador saddle, it's the comfiest yet most secure saddle I've ever ridden in.

^^^^^^^^^^^Totally Agree - great knee security, flatter seat and still looks great despite regular use (in brown). Lovely quality and nice and light weight!

TDS at Alton have a good selection. Saddles Direct (web based Company) let you try and you can just return them if they don't fit, can order a couple at a time to try out so worth taking a look.

HATE how hard stubben's are, but my instructor has one and I borrowed it once or twice to her going 'my god, you ride MUCH better in this saddle, really..much better! Yours is horrible, mind..but your legs are much better in this'. So I can only assume it made a difference
I love the Prestige saddles, and the Antares' mono flaps too, but so so expensive. I believe the Prestige Versailles in the UK isn't that badly priced though, so you might be able to find a secondhand one for about £500

I used to have a k2 jump saddle and to be onest the big knee blocks didnt help me feel secure one bit!
I now have a bates momentum which although very flat and has tiny knee/thigh blocks blocks is ultra secure - love it!
