Kennington Saddles?

[soph21]

I dont know if I have spelt it right but in the local feed store there is an ad for a Kennington saddle. 16'' wide. She brought it for her horse £600 and it doesn't fit. She will take £350 ono. Its my birthday next month and want a saddle

Are they good? Is it worth trying it?
Heres a picture of it that was in the shop!

Thank you!

I like it hun. Though I'm a Jeffries girl myself

LOL I was close then DM!!

I love Jefferies too but I thought I may aswell try it as she's local, and its reasonably cheap lol!!

It looks nicely balanced and what a great birthday pressie!!

The only downside is that I did have a brown saddle so EVERYTHING was brown to match but then he outgrew that saddle (Jefferies). And The current 1 is black so then I went and brought everything bloody black!
Ive got a nice PVC BLACK girth!
Would it go with a brown saddle! LOL I get paranoid that we stand out like a sore thumb!

Or maybe I could dye the saddle black!

I think it depends on coat colour hun - on a bay I think it wouldn't be all that noticeable at all. But on a grey or dark bay for example I think the difference is more obvious . . . going to show my blondeness here by asking: can you really dye a saddle???

PMSL, I was joking about dying it, but I wonder if you really can!?

Oh thats OK cos he's bay!
