Pessoa jump saddles v Albion

[sam-b]

Whivh do people prefer? Also which have the bigger blocks? Have always had Albion in past bit considering the Pessoa

From my experience, Albion have more/bigger blocks than pessoa saddles which are quite minimalistic.

I much prefer the pessoas but seem to be allergic to albions and have hated every one I have sat in for some reason!

I have an Albion and love it, never tried a Pessoa though.

albion deffinately has bigger blocks, i have the monoflap albion and love it, tried quite a few pessoa's but not found the block big enough for me, very comfy seats though

Used to have a pessoa on my jumping pony and loved it, felt really secure in it.

I've never got on with Albions!

I have both - my Albion didn't fit my last horse so got a Pessoa, it was definitely the best of what fitted. However I've now reverted back to the Albion - partly because I'd need to get the Pessoa altered to fit current horse and the Albion fits fine as it is. I actually think the seat of the Pessoa is more comfortable but overall I probably prefer the Albion. (Shouldn't say that really as I'm thinking of selling the Pessoa!)

Try both and see which you prefer.

Both R and I love our Albions, we have event and dressage. Love them and love their quality, can't compare to a Pessoa though as not ridden in one.
