I have an Albion style and a K2 Gp though the style no longer fits her.

The K2 is lovely, really comfortable and gives you a nice leg position its also great because I feel really secure in when jumping.

I have a K2 GP & Dressage and love them. What's a hopped tree? Or am I being silly?

i absolutely adore Albion saddles. Ive had a K2 GP and K2 dressage saddles. Both lovely and comfortable to ride in. Also resale value is good if you need to get rid.

thankyou for your answers a hopped tree as i understand is bent like a bananna as my horse has a short back and very flat so normal trees dont fit as they dont fit into his back i never heard of them before yesterday but it seemed to fit well the one i tryed was a vsd had a wow saddle before but did not suit my horse

I bought a K2 VSD only yesterday - my mare has a "scooped" flat welshie back and huge shoulders and the K2 fitted her the best for these reasons. She moved so much more freely in it than in any of the others we tried. Unfortunately, she's a little sore from the previous saddle so we won't get going in it until the physio has been to visit . Not a cheap saddle of course. Get one off the net if you go ahead - I could have saved £150, ah well!!

thank you for your reply your horse sounds a lot like mine the saddle i had before done a lot of damage to his back and he had to have julie goodyear from eastbourne who done wonders it took two months of weekly visits but we are now ready to start again that is why i have asked all of you for your veiws before making my mind up, as i have had a lot of saddles.
