... as a 'cheap' version of an Albion? Like how Thoroughgoods have a similar shape to Saddle Company Saddles?
I have FINALLY realised what jumping is supposed to be after my instructor had me ride in her Albion jump saddle with the air flocking. I could sit better, and use my seat more effectively, and my horse hasn't stop once in it, as I'm not getting on his front end. However even secondhand they seem very expensive... being someone who has never spent more than £500 on a saddle and doesn't have 2 spare pennies at the moment, an easier target than an actual Albion is required, I think.
Any suggestions? He is a fairly high withered, short coupled TB so a little tricky to fit but the one we tried was spot on straight off.
