I am so excited about riding on it, but am going to try and contain my excitement until tomorrow morning and ride Grace in it then. It was the first one I tried on, and it was perfect. It's an Albion SLK 17.5" Wide... but my credit card is now crying in pain!
 
Lucky you!! Do you feel that this one is better than the one you had on trial? (Think I can tell from your post that you do!!) The Albions are lovely, I wanted one but couldnt get a 17" without paying a hefty deposit first. Ended up with the Bates Innova, which i am very pleased with.
 
As soon as I sat in it I just knew...

My other mares is an Albion SLK Ultima, and sitting on this SLK just felt so familiar. It didn't need any alterations to it, it just fitted her perfecty. The lady is going to come back out in a month to have another look at it, which I am pleased about. Whereas I perched on top of the one I had on trial, I sit in this one. I have never had to be told to sit deep, as I sit too deep really if anything, and my trainer spent the whole lesson telling me to sit deeper in the other one.
