.. a nice jumping saddle? 
I'm joining BE next year. I cannot afford a dressage saddle yet.
So for the time being I'm getting rid of my Ideal event (basically a GP) and my older WH-style saddle, and swapping for a jumping saddle until I can save for a dressage saddle too.
Going 2nd hand and part exing in my 2 saddles with our local master saddler. My old one was valued at £250 and has had no wear since, my Ideal is selling 2nd hand for anywhere between 300-500 so I'm guessing with a little more funding I should have a budget of between 500-600 for a second hand saddle.
I really want one with nice big blocks, my mare is very spooky so I like to be secure..! I've ridden in my YO's Albion K2 which I adored but they sell for 800+ 2nd hand from what I've seen. Also ridden in a Prestige but didn't like that so much, but of course that was only one model.
Just so I can give my saddler an idea of what type I'm looking for.. any suggestions welcome, there's just SO much choice that I really am clueless!
