Anyone got an albion dressage saddle, which do you prefer the K2 or the SL or Slk. Whats the difference? I have a K2 jump and need a dressage tried a couple but no joy yet. I want to stick to an albion as they roughly come up the same size.

So who prefers what and why?
Cheers
 
Got an Albion Original Comfort, very tidy and you just can't sit badly in it

not sure how old it is as bought it used but quality still shines through Stella and i think you;re very wise to stick with what you know.
 
iv got an albion, got it second hand for £150! bargain! its in fab condition, its old but you wouldnt know. i think its a legend, hmmm i think it is, dont really know, fits my odd shaped tb fab and its got a swuede seat and knee rolls, very very comfy,
 
I've just gone crazy and bought an ultima platinum (think its similar to SLK??).....its sooooo yummy!!! Husband is still recovering from how much I paid for it but I'm convincing him its worth it!!

I'm not a big fan of Albion and didn't want to like it but it really did put me in an excellent position, my stirrups went down 2 more holes and the horse is so much softer in it......will stop waffling now as you've probably gathered I love my new saddle!!!!!

SL has a flatter tree than the SLK so depends on the shape of your horse.
Platinum saddle has an adjustable front plate to change the tree as your horse changes shape.
The SLK will lock you in more than the SL, It's going to be a combination of shape of your horse and comfort / position for you.
The K2 is a cheaper model, but I don't know much about these. Albion Style is an older version of the SL.
I used to rise in an old Albion Legend and it was fab.
