I love the old ones, but cant stand the new ones, but i know lots of people that do!!

I had one, it was the most ucomfortable saddle I have ever had the pleasure to own. In fact, I have no idea how I was conned into buying it. I sold it on as soon as I could. It was like sitting on a stone slab it was that hard.

I have a stubben jumping saddle and I love it! I've had it about 5 years and its still in great condition and my boy goes really nicely in it.

I love mine

I adore mine, its SO comfy, but a bit heavy to lift, its one of those, nearly dressage ones, a scandica, i do everything in it except jump, but we do hack in it and jump ditches, i can go for hours in it, it never moves, rubs and is so wonderful!!!

I love mine. I have a custom made Stubben MF Spezial and have had it for a good few years now but it still looks new.

Here's mine.

I love them for jumping as they hold you in a fabulous position. They are quite hard and take a bit of getting used to but I wouldn't jump in anything else.

Very secure for jumping.

Im having to sell mine as doesn't fit my boy anymore

I love mine, had it for years and hunt in it happily.

Have advertised for a black gp/jump one for my mare who is too wide for her kieffer, not having much luck finding one (kieffer can be adjusted but it's showing it's age so plan to sell it)

Love mine - had it made to measure both me and my mare so is really comfy, never moves and still fits my mare perfectly even though its 8 years old, used all the time and my mare has lost over 14 inches of her girth since it was made. Was the best fit for her as a wide cob with hardly any withers to speak of. Regularly hack out for 3 + hours and never have a problem.

My equine chiropractor hates them. She says that she treats too many horses with recurring bad backs who have Stubben saddles for it to be more than a coincidence.

i brought new one the other day

my absolute pride and joy. £575.... ok its kinda orange but so comfy

I hate them! Never owned one but they are just so uncomfortable!

 

[badgerdog]

It's my favourite one for jumping in but they're a bit hard if you're not used to them!
