Earlier this week husband bid for a Sue Carson dressage saddle (Tempo model) on ebay. He managed to get it at the last minute for £575 icluding postage and insurance.
It arrived today and I swear is brand new.. no marks on girth straps, unmarked as new seat etc, and guess what, when he fitted it on Diamond it was like a glove..They can be adjusted a lot with the flair system or even a different tree, so for now he will get it fitted to a different horse until she is back in work, then refitted to her.
He rode in it earlier and loved it, though it's a tiny bit wide for Flynn.
If he had bought the saddle from Sue Carson it would be £1700 talk about the bargain of the year..
Now, does anyone want his old saddle, adjusted by means of an allen key you turn to widen/narrow it for every horse... Looks like it might appear on ebay soon!
