For your input. I agree that dressage saddles are a very personal thing and what suits one rider won't suit another.
Saddler is out next week so I will let you know how I get on
Have a passier grand gilbert and it is absolutely wonderful, although would agree that they tend to rock, had it completely reflocked when i bought it even though it was less than a year old to solve this as the flocking that it comes with is quite hard imo. saying that it is so much better than my old albion which locked you in with this one i can actually move my legs!!
I have it on an xw arab and it is the only saddle of his that does not slip from side to side when riding perhaps due to the point strap?
Mine was also a bargain, cost £675 second hand at 8months old including full reflock. think they retail at £1500.
I have an Albion SLK Ultima Narrow which is really nice, however i also have an Ideal 1650 Dressage which is the same design as the Albion, around £900 cheaper and comfier aswell!!
