Im looking to sell on my latest version of the wintec 500 ( i do believe ) and invest in a leather saddle.
only i have no idea where to start looking!
any help would be great!
I'm looking for a gp but has to be good condition, even if second hand, but not grandad old!
would prefer new though.

Any links/brands/anything would be greatly apprecciated! ( sp? )

most of saddle fitters have a fair amount of second hand saddles as well as new ones that you can try. It depends on how much you want to spend and what you are looking for.
I have an albion selecta which is fab as an allrounder and also isnt as big as most of the albions i have ridden in.
It is important to try lots of diffent types of saddles to see which one you like the best. The albion isnt my favourite saddle for jumping but it is the best all round saddle i have ever come across. Also good when starting young horse as keeps you very secure
but as i said try out lots of different ones as buying a saddle isnt cheap and you want to find the best one for you and your horse. Please dont buy one online unless you know the fit of that particular saddle is on your horse as you could end up with a saddle that you cant use
 
Try looking at www.saddlesdirect.co.uk as they have a lot of second hand saddles that you can try out for very little money.

However, your best bet would be to try and find a good local saddler who has a decent stock of saddles as its difficult to see what you or the horse might be comfortable with until you are sat in them.
