Jumping Saddles

[Madam_max]

I have been given the all clear to buy one at last

. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I have an Albion GP and dressage as they fit her really well.

 

[teapot]

Albion, Ideal or Jefferies are probably the nicest and best 3 I've jumped in

Def recommend the Albion Kontrol SJ saddle - love mine to bits

 

[KatB]

I have a bates momentum and it is very good to sit in, but has very flat seat and next to no knee rolls

Depends if you want big knee/thigh blocks. The Albion Kontrol saddles are nice because they have adjustable knee rolls and a semi deep seat

 

[dieseldog]

If you like the albion have a look at the K2 jumping saddle

 

[Madam_max]

That's what I had in mind. Are they any good?

 

[Weezy]

They are lovely, but they do NOT suit me at all, so have a good sit on one

 

[dieseldog]

My sisters have them, and when I was buying a saddle I would have gone for a K2 or a stubben, but a Stubben came up first - which I love.

 

[Madam_max]

Yeah but you have uber long legs whereas I am short (very)

 

[beh]

Hey

I really like the Prestige Eventing one and the Bates momentum, cant fault the K2 either

 

[MarthaRodman1]

I have an Ideal, and I love it. Although it did take a while to get used to - having been used to riding in a saddle without any knee role, it puts your leg in a great position, but feels v different to a normal saddle! Lucky you....

Ive got a Bates close contact jumping saddle and love it. Ive also had an Albion K2 and cried when I sold it I loved it that much!!

 

[Heidi1]

Have a Stubben and a Amerigo and love both of them, also like the K2........

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

I have a Prestige Meredith D - its fantastic i also have 2 pessoa one suede and one leather !! they are also nice

yup, i can vouch for that - SHORTARSE

 

[Madam_max]

Humph

I don't like the K2 at all, sorry! I find it very uncomfortable and although it is supportive for jumping I find it restrictive and I hate the way the seat feels.
