I have a limited budget to buy a 2nd 17" or 17.5" wide fit jumping saddle for my mare who I intend to jump affiliated with. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this? What saddles do you find good/comfortable? Where would you suggest I look for one?
 
It depends on how limited your budget is!

I would get whatever saddle fits my horse, there is no point falling in love with one type of saddle and for it to then not fit your horse.
Saying that I did like my stubben jumping saddle and got used to my sisters albion.
 
You will be lucky to find a jumping saddle at a tack shop they don't seem to stock them your best bet is Ebay but it will take a while to find one you like. I like Stubben's the MF Spezial or Albion K2s
 
Albions are bloody lovely, I managed to bag a great 2nd hand one from our tack shop for Mar but it didnt fit oshk

DD is right though, our tack shop specialized in 2nd hand and had a great deal of choice, but when you put your budget, horses sizing and your desire together you have some limitations as to what you can get, try ebay!
 
If you know what size albion fits her the K2 Jumping saddle is really nice - you can get a 2nd hand one on EBay for about £400
