I got my Albion K2 dressage, 18 months old, black, medium 17 1/2 " for £450, so they are out there

It might be on the market in the next 6 months depending on neddies soundness issues!

Hey you !!!!!

I really would like one of them ryder ones she had there they looked lush but to much money !

 

[M_G]

I think they are fairly cheap was it Woody's you were looking at?

Arnt the riders ones about £600 made to measure?

 

[Scoopy]

The one i liked was £650 gulp

Im sure i cant get OH any higher the £400 you know him !

theres no huge rush though if he gives you 400 then you save up the rest or give jacquie a call and see how much for a saddle co one am sure a verona dressage would be just as good if not better because its adjustable

Not a fan of the saddle co ones because the stirrup bar is in the wrong place, so make taking the right position very hard. I liked the Ideal Jessica, though found it very restrictive.... Albions and the IDeal Jessica are both very adjustable because they have alot of scope wo play with the flocking.

Your boy is looking gorgeous Doublescoop....

Well you can have my second hand Legend to play in as much as you like and borrow when you want! I got mine at Sandon Saddlery for under £400 so we could do a fact-finding mission there. I know for a fact they have a lovely Albion dressage in at the moment which is about £400 but much newer than mine. They also have saddle company ones in but I think they are GPs. A Humphries & Swain would be ideal as they are VERY adjustable, have serge panels and you can get holistic tree ones which flex with the horse - but they are not cheap, even second -hand.

I tried the standard Wintec Pro dressage and did like it, mostly as I had never sat in anything decent before. But when I started sitting in the leather dressage saddles I was hooked! I have never tried an Isabelle though, and to be fair they do look like they have a nice seat and they hold their value VERY well so I assume they are popular saddles, and for a good reason.

Will pop my saddle over to you and you can see what you think!

 

[Scoopy]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh your such a star !!!!!

When you come round i will force you to watch the dressage video from start to finish ! might need a few bottles !

My fave saddle is my amerigo as it has a lovely soft seat that is not too deep but has great big knee rolls in just the right place!
