Im looking at getting my girl a dressage saddle, Basically was wondering if i can get a decent dressage saddle for max of about £700? i was maybe looking at the bates? i have a jumping saddle in one now. and she loves it!! any other suggestions dont know if i am really keen on the ideal to be honest though
 
I got a Keiffer Zugspitze dressage saddle, could've been new as it was in such good condition , for 400 off ebay

Didn't want to use it for weeks. Total bargain

I've got an Ideal Jessica with the Flair system fitted - have alook on ebay as it's listed there - you can see what it looks like - really comfortable and with the Flair, good for the horse's back too

I had an Isabell Werth/Bates dressage saddle - loved that too (but more ££!)
 
I will agree, I am having to get rid of my flair ideal jessica and I loved it sooo comfy and nice sticky suede seat but no chance of it fitting pony again!

I paid about £500 for that about 9 months ago and that was off a retailer so should be cheaper online.
 
New Ideal Jessica are about £800-£1000 depending on the extras etc so a good 2nd hand should be well below your budget
 
Not to advertise or anything, but I'm considering trading in my frank baines, but it's in a wide. I just got it from my saddler, who gave it to me for free (as he's mad), so I wouldn't even know how much it's worth.
 
I also have a Kieffer, in sig. bought nearly new on e bay had only been used once or twice, not even stirrup marks on it. £700.00 exactly and I love it.

Does not fit Ollie so very well (was bought for a high withered horse I ended up selling) but I have just bought a Prolite rear riser and hopes that sorts it out.
 
I recently bought my Kieffer Lech Profi dressage saddle, second hand and in excellent condition from saddles direct for £400.00. It is a super comfy saddle and I use it all the time now!
 
I am about to buy (hopefully) a Ludomar Neptue for £300! no marks or anything, second hand but really lovely.
This is through a friend, but she brought it for that through ebay!
 
I didn't want a synthetic saddle either, but the one that fitted my horse PERFECTLY (he just floated across the field when I tried it) was a Wintec Pro Dressage. I just sold it and it fits the new horse well, too.
