Basically before I can ride again I'd like to get Major a new, fitted saddle.
Currently I have an Albion K2 jump saddle and a Pessoa Anky dressage saddle.
Both of which I've ended up with along the way and both have been "checked" but neither properly fitted. And I want to eliminate any pain/discomfort avenues before I get back on.
However I am on an EXTEMELY tight budget.
So my dilemma is, I love the Albion as I feel secure in it and am reluctant to sell it. However I can't help but think if I sell both I in a good position to buy a new saddle (or second hand but new to me) that is fitted.
I'm quite keen to crack on with some dressage and showing when I get back in the saddle and put jumping on the back burner. However I will do a tonne of hacking and hunt a bit. So I'm in a dilemma as to what saddle I should go for? He's pretty sharp and I'm no Andrew Nicholson and really felt the knee blocks on the Albion helped from the close contact I had prior to that. However it is very forward cut and I don't really like schooling in it. What to do?!
And the other thing, are there any decent, helpful saddle fitters/sellers in the Worcestershire area that are worth ringing?
Sorry for the essay any opinions great fully received!
