Has anyone seen the Union Jack saddle in H&H today?!

[Diane_Pepper]

It's horrible!!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

 

[hotellie]

oooo i love it...gimme gimme...jokes...not as bad as the pink and blue ones that are in my local tack shop!

 

[wizoz]

I cannot imagine why anyone would want to ride in anything so revolting

 

[Diane_Pepper]

I feel sorry for the horse that has to wear that!
The colours you can get now are just ridiculous!

 

[JadeWisc]

I thought only Americans were THAT tacky

 

[Blizzard]

LOL and im sure it said you could design your own for £4500!

 

[Weezy]

I looked, I tried to dispise it, I cannot help but admit I think it is a work of art and I like it - not that I would own one tho!

 

[Dotilas]

Agree - very well designed.. Can't help but think about SJing in it with a white numnah

 

[Santa_Claus]

I have seen worse! Think it was Bates who did one for Matthew Sampson a few years ago! It was 'interesting' as the whole union jack was over the seat!

 

[Diane_Pepper]

Eurgh...Still maks me shudder when I see it!
Would it actually be allowed in any disciplines?!
I know in the BE rule book it says an 'English type saddle' is compulsory - does the union jack count?!

 

[Dutch]

I thought it was an "editorial" joke, like an April fool?

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

and its made by devoucoux!!!
i was proud to own 2 before, not so sure now!!!

( mine are brown before anybody asks! although my pink one arrives next week! lol)

well matthew Sampson (well think it was him!) jumped BSJA in his!

 

[CastleMouse]

I think it's hideous!

 

[k9h]

The fact that it is just hideous!

Surley it would rub your legs & knees to bits with all the ridges from the different coloured leather??? As it is not one smooth piece but lots sewn on top of each other?

I went on their stand at Hickstead and I have to say you are missing the point they only make made to measure saddles and this saddle only shows you what you could do if you wanted. i thought they were pretty bonza saddles to be fair and would love an aussi flag on mine but not the whole saddle to be fair. i'm saving up as they looked proper special I'm tellin ya bet our Jordan will get one made in pink and sparkly which i bet they'd do.L

 

[Diane_Pepper]

No, I appreciate that they are made to measure!!
I just posted to see what people thought of it

Not like I'm going to rush off & buy one is it!!

 

[Diane_Pepper]

I thought that k9h..
Maybe some people would put up with the rubbing just to look pretty!!
I know I certainly wouldn't...

 

[MrsMozart]

I like it

I may well be strange and bizarre, but I'm happy

 

[JoBo]

Sorry, but I want one! Bet even though they are made to measure they wouldn’t have a ‘Cob’ tree!
