riding reluctantly into the sunset
All of my life I have had trouble finding a comfortable saddle. I have therefore, apart from 2, bought what fitted the horse not me.
The comfortable saddle some years ago was an Albion K2 gp which I had for my 14.2.
My latest horse has a saddle which fits both her and me.
It is a very elderly Albion Selecta.
BUT
Today friend picks up said saddle and says Sh..., that’s heavy.
Now I am feeling guilty.
Do I try to find a lighter saddle that fits us both?
Does anyone know if any later Albions use the Selecta tree?
Or do I leave well alone?
Thanks
Edit.. For various reasons I have little trust in most local saddlers.
