eldonian saddled?

[poppyblossom]

Has anyone ever had one of these saddles? In desperate need of a saddle and there one for sale but I've never heard of this make?

I think they were made by Jefferies, quite a few years ago.

Eldonian brooks were very very good English made saddles and the marque was bought by Jeffries in the early 1980's so you need to know that any saddle with an eldonian badge is at least 30 years old, I've got one, it was my first pony's and it was an antique even then....I'm 36!!!!

I've got one about 60yrs old, still good as new. Top quality saddle. I used to have another but the tree broke when a horse fell whilst wearing it. That saddle was good quality too.

These are one of my favourite makes of saddles to work on, well made and HOW a saddle should be made!

I have a lovely pair of Eldonians, a jumping saddle and an almost unused dressage saddle. I bought them because they were perfect for my Welshy and that's what I used when I was a child and they are such lovely quality. I won't part with them because they are just too nice!

I have one, love it but doesn't fit any of my horses now and can't sell it for love nor money!
