Spalding International Saddles - any experience with these?

[PolarSkye]

The young woman who has been schooling Kal for me has loaned me her Spalding dressage saddle . . . we've had it checked by a saddle fitter . . . it's lovely to ride in and Kal seems to go really well in it. I can't afford to at the moment, but she has offered to sell it to us for £500 . . . reading up it seems Spaldings hold their value (and this one has a brand new tree and has just been reflocked) but I wondered if anyone here had any experience with this particular brand?

Thanks in advance.

My saddler, Andy Wheals is the chap who makes them. When I brought a new saddle from him, I loved the Spalding, alas it was a bit too expensive for me, so I would guess you have a bargain! (this was over £1000 and very comfy!)
