Ride-away does mail order and free saddle fitting if you go there

I'd say a GOOD jumping saddle will cost in the region of £800-£1500, but there are exeptions

Well, I have one of Eric Thomas saddles and they are very competitively priced at around £500

I've got a Black Country Quantum that I would recommend, cost about £1100 new but might be able to pick something good up second hand. Have you phoned round your local saddlers to see what they stock or have second hand? You could go and have a look, get an idea what you like and then you will know how much you need to save ! Butets and pessoas are both very nice but lots of dosh!

i have a black country gp at the moment
no i havent asked around yet; i need to save up alot more

I have a Barnsby Milton - I paid £790 second hand for it, so be prepared to save for a good one. My saddle is worth every penny.

I have a bates Elevation, deep seat, the posh model and I love it, they cost about £1200-£1300 but are well worth it, and it has an interchangeable gullets so can be altered if my boy changes shape.
