I've decided I'm going to be brave and start jumping Missy (and if I stop being so brave I'll pay somebody better and braver to get her going

). So, my dilemma is that I need to get Moo a jumping saddle but theres so many to choose from I have no idea where to start! I'm going to have Olympic's Stubben (which adore) fitted on the off chance it will fit Moo which I doubt it will.
The saddle needs to have knee and thigh blocks and be leather (pref black or very dark brown). My budget is about £800 (but my mother is insane and is willing to go higher for a really good saddle).

So........suggestions?
 
Barry Swain!! Mine was £900 2nd hand - that was about 4 years ago. I love that saddle. Hopefully will fit new horsie - saddler coming out tomo to see.
 
Kat - get something with big blocks, the Albion K2 is good and you can pick that up for £800 brand new - about £400-500 second hand.

I've bought another Stubben exaclty the same blocks but a different model - I love it, it's my granny armchair saddle.
 
Prestige Paris D, if your mums feeling generous!! Mine is great, my old Stubben gave me a bad back and switched the Prestige and had no trouble at all since!
