I was wondering what sort of prices these saddles were coming in brand new and used. And is there a big demand for these saddles? :confused:
 
Hi, I have one and my local master saddler has valued it at around £300 but had no interest so lowering the price. I had never heard of the make until I bought this one but it is a lovely saddle. According to the saddler and my friends in the US they seem to be very popular out there and fetch much more money!
 
Bought a 2nd hand one not that long ago for £275 off my saddler, its a good fit on my horse. I'm sure this make were really popular quite a few years ago.
 
Hmmmm I'd never really heard of them before either. I looked on the website and it did use a lot of US terms which made me wonder. It is a lovely saddle though, like an arm chair to sit in, keeps my leg in the right position, its great! Love it! But my horse has changed shape :/ The joy!
 
A friend has one for her horse is so comfy to ride in, was set on getting one for my boy but he is the wrong shape think she paid around the £300 mark for her's second hand.
 
I bought a dressage one for £150 2 yrs ago (ebay) which although 15 years old was in mint condition, it is a lovely saddle.
 
Well I have a Lovett saddle that is over 35 years old, this was before he joined up with Derek Ricketts the showjumper and yes I have one of those as well which is 30 years old. They seem to fit anything, my oldest one I use for backing my youngsters and I'd never get rid of them.
 
I want one!!! I'm after a brown event saddle 17 1/2 wide if anyone's got one ;) I've been looking on Ebay and Preloved and although there aren't many around I think I should be able to pick up a secondhand one for a couple of hundred quid.
 
They're £1,260 upwards new now.

I've got a used Sylvan and Ellipse to sell but I won't let them go for a couple of hundred quid. ;)
 
I had one of these about 15 years ago - I paid £200 second hand, I think the saddle was quite old, and I got it quite cheap because somebody's darling pony had done teethmarks on the cantle!
 
My friend has recently bought a 2nd hand one for £175 but she got it from a friend so could be cheaper. It is very comfy and they are a good brand because aren't they now Albion?
 
I have a nice one 17.5" and if you pm me with email I will send you photos. Only wanting £99 for it plus courier £15 delivery, as I seem to be collecting saddles!
