GFS Pro Generation Training Saddle - opinions?

[Captain Bridget]

I have the opportunity to buy one of these saddles (used) and wondered if anyone had them and if they would recommend them or had any opinions on them?

I would be using it for a bit of show jumping and cross country, but nothing big, and lots of hacking.

I was offered it at £400, would that be the right kind of price or should I try and get it for less?

I have no idea about the quality but found this while looking for the saddle you described, which seems to be fairly straight cut, this is more forward and the price will give you an idea, I found several other deals on the same make different style for around £450 new.

I used to have one and loved it. I bought it new for £330 from ride away years ago. I think new they are about £550 now so depends on how well it's been looked after as to whether it's worth £400 or not. Some people don't like them but I always got on with mine. My friend has one that I borrowed for some cross country a couple of weeks ago and it kept me on and secure after not jumping for a year.
