I was in my local tack shop today and saw a secound hand saddle for sale paper tag on it said Ideal Jessicca, How can i tell its def this make as i heard that Ideal saddles are brill but on the saddle the metal badge says The crown saddlery walsall. and i really wanted an Ideal saddle but not sure if this is really one????

I know Ideal make a saddle called the Ideal Crown, so I assume Crown Saddlery are their makers? They are fab though, I really want one (or two!)

Ideal make saddles for other people - ie. CH BROWN have their button put on their Ideal saddles - am sure it is all above board.

Many saddlers do put their own badges on their saddles, i bought a 2nd ideal jessica from an eventer and it had the R&R country badge on it but my saddler (CH Brown) put the ideal badges on for me.

i brought my Ideal from TDS and it has 'TDS' on it, but its still an Ideal!

'Crown' is a badge originally used for exporting, it was like a brand but some retailers over here wanted to use this badge/brand as a premium product.

Has it got Crown nails, green with a gold crown?? It def sounds like an Ideal saddle to me.

(i work for Ideal)

Yes it has got on both sides a green badge with a gold crown on them....

 

[Cullohill]

well we def made it then so you would be buying an IDEAL saddle!!
Good luck

I've also got an Ideal Jessica with a different badge - it came with a previous horse but I kept a hold of it when she was sold. Really nice saddle
