Hi All

Can anyone tell me if anyone buys medium saddles still?? I have taken a punt on an Albion dressage but turns out it is a medium (which he definitely isn't!). So thought could just resell it, but my friend thinks they aren't very popular and won't sell as easily as a wide would?? What do you guys think, was hoping would be an easy resell if didn't fit but now not sure:confused:, husband will have a fit if add more to the tack graveyard in the garage!!:D
 
Sure, WB's, crosses and ISH horses are popular ATM but there are also still plenty of TB types that a medium tree would suit. Not sure I'd totally dispair if I were you. LOL! :D
 
Last year I tried to sell a couple of wide sadles and had no bites at all....perhaps I'll try again! People all wanted medium, so what goes round will come round, so if necessary keep it for 6 months and try again. But I really don't think you'll have a problem selling it now :)
 
I'm sure there'll still be some M horses around. I just bought an Albion Jumping saddle in a N/M as my M is slightly to wide for her, fair enough it wasn't a dressage saddle but I'm sure their will be some pep looking for M dressage saddles, even if it's event riders I'm sure most off there horses aren't in Wides or Extra Wides, wouldn't think all dessage horses are either really?
 
I'm fed up with seeing wide saddles around when I need mediums! What Albion dressage is it? I tried two on Hattie, one was an SLK Platinum and the other a SL?? and they were the only two that didn't shoot forward onto her shoulders- sadly they were out of my price range.
 
Hi, just to let you know I sold it :), interestingly the wintec that I also had for sale went instantly but the Albion went pretty quick too. OH is very impressed to see the back of at least two large horse items taking up space in his 'man' room :D
