Tekna Saddles from £179!!!

oh tempting... I have the dressage model already (bought off eBay brand new for £120 :)) but would quite like the jumping model, particularly at that price!

Fits the Millie monkey (who I think had similar issues to your girl?)

She is in the m/w 17.5" and it fits great- I would have bought the 17" if I had tried first as I would be happier with it a smidge shorter (they seem generous in length) but the saddler and Millie are both very happy with the fit.

It has a nice open head, plenty of clearance along the gullet and is comfy for me- I tend to prefer a flatter seat but I don't feel 'stuck' in the Tekna like I can in more blocky saddles like Albions.

Would like to try a Med on Vinnie as the M/W is just a little low for his sharkfin withers.

Hmm interesting, Im just about to press the PURCHASE button!! They are adjustable arent they?
 
They aren't adjustable like a wintec but I think you can heat and remould the tree?

Kat, same here, no money this month but can I afford to miss the opportunity at this price???
 
Ok a few questions sorry :o

Those of you who have one what sort of shape are your horses?
And how many saddlers will adjust them? and how do you find out where those that can adjust them are?
 
I have a dressage one.

I lost my old boy - cob - and had it remoulded to fit my new boy cxtb - fits perfectly.

I took the knee pad bits off though (just velcroed on) as I found them too chunky - you can buy different size ones though.

Sorry about my spelling and gramma - I have special needs
 
2?! That's just greedy. :D:D Want to donate one to me? I am too poor to afford one :(

I have seen their tendon boots before and they were really quite nice. Are the saddles as convincing as the boots are? I was really surprised they weren't leather.
 
I have the tendon boots and I like them :) and I have seen a jumping saddle in the shop and it looks nice but just wasnt sure on the fit. But now gable has said she has one on her cob who I'm guessing is rather flat backed I think I know what I'm asking santa for :D.
 
Oooh, so very tempted (have been pondering whether to get a new saddle, and have just received some money from my sister...).

To anyone who's got a tekna saddle, whats the fit like? I currently have a wintec gp with medium gullet that fits horse really well, and occasionally borrow an Isabel Werth, also with medium gullet that fits ok...

Has anyone used one on a thorughbred with high withers or am I better with the Thoroughgood HW?

Thanks

Got the jumping one for my TB, who has high withers and big shoulders, fits him perfectly and hasn't pushed on his withers in the slightest :)
 
Just ordered one :D

I'm in the process of loaning a lovely retired eventer to bring back into work and have a blast round some BE so have bought a jumping one for him.

if it doesn't fit i'll still keep it and use it on the foaly in a few years! Too good a bargain to miss :)
