Ridden twice in my new Albion K2 GP it fits my horse fine but does it fit me. I feel like I am sat on the fork all the time.
I am going to go back to the sadddler about it but cant do so for a week as I am away and I have a friend riding him in it for me. My old Albion Ultra seemed far more comfortable but needed a thick numnah and a gel pad under it and I cant promise it wasnt causing horsey a problem as it was quite low.
 
If you dont like it, dont keep it. I always tell people it is paramount the saddle fits the horse, but it must also fit the rider and be comfy. No point having something you hate, its your butt!
 
I have a tendency to lean forward slightly so if my saddle is even the tiniest bit out I feel like I am sat on my fork. Could it be that it needs lifting slightly at the front?

Yes I think it may need this plus I was analysing compared to me other and as it has a very deep seat the angle at the pommrl id sharper . Its very difficult discussing your personal anatomy with your saddler its nearly like seeing a doctor about womens problems
