Pessoa Legacy XP3 or Albion K2 Jump Saddle?

[Javabb94]

Just had a saddle fitting today and its between the Pessoa Legacy XP3 and the Albion K2 Jump. Both have the same fit on my horse

opinions anyone?

Briefly rode in the pessoa, but have a K2 and love love love it I can stay on anything now (touch wood)

It depend really, I *think* the pessoa is more close contact, but not as comfy if you want to go on a long hack. My K2 is very comfy and I can happily hack all day in it, it's also very heavily blocked, which I really like, but some don't.

i definately like the pessoa, the leather is so soft!
The albion looks nice too, the advantage of the pessoa is the knee rolls/blocks are moveable and has two at the front so if you want to do some flatwork i can take one off

which did you prefer?

people can say on here which they like best (pessoa for me everytime- I hate Albions ) but really it is down to which you liked best.

i havent tried them yet, i cant ride cos of all the snow! but got them fitted today as i have my lesson on saturday so wanted it for then and im hoping the mild weather on friday melts all the snow!

I love the stitching and the look of the pessoa especially having the moveable blocks! I will see which one my legs fit on (i have to get a jump saddle with a very forward cut as i am tall) !

anyone else????

no experience of the pessoa, but i have a K2 and is fab. my horse is naughty jumping and i feel very safe in it. it does have huge knee blocks as previously mentioned which i love!
i also have freakishly long legs and it fits me perfectly =]

Same ! thats the reason i have to get a new saddle i have a gfs pro vsd and my legs stick right of the end and the seat feels like its pushing me forward!

So cos of my freaksihly long thighs i have to get a jump saddle, although showjumping is what i do i dont do dressage so its fine!
