Help! Saddles?!

[lillie07]

Would you trust a saddle from a "Bespoke Saddler" on Ebay? Saddle is just what Im after, but im just a bit sceptical...

Well Heritage is starting to make a name for itself.
I like the look of the jumping saddle, not so sure about the dressage one.
Perhaps ask the seller if there is some form of gaurentee on it?

I think I have been in touch with these people in the past, but got a lovely H&S saddle from a private seller through another site. I contacted the guy and he seemed pretty kosher and sent me lots of other pics of saddles. I doubt you'd get the same re-sales price as for a big name, liek Ideal, Albion, etc, but worth getting in touch with them I think.
