I'm looking into options for a saddle for my youngster- so far we have established the saddle needs to have good spinal clearance!!
I'm working with horsatack to try and find him a saddle- he was in an Albion being broken and the woman at horsatack said that you won't really get a better fit than an Albion- but with a growing youngster he'd prob out grow it in a few weeks!

Any way has any one got experience of these saddle please x
 
I have a Wow saddle and love it!! However some horses dont - i would suggest you get out a saddler with a selection of saddles and see what suits your horse, and then you, the best.
 
Im a massive fan of Albion and have used them for years on all my horses they have fitted warmbloods to skinny tbs and Ive never had back problems. And they hold their value. Ohh and are soooo comfy!!
 
Loved, loved, loved my Albion.

If your horse is a TB type - might be just the ticket.

However, I also loved my Bates - however it was not a great fit on the horse, but ideal in many ways because of the changeable gullet.
 
i had a wow for 18months but sadly it just doesnt get on with my mare.
she has a very short back and moves alot in the lumber region so the air was making the saddle bounce at the back- hence im selling both of them.

Change the air panels for the Cub memory foam ones. Works really well and cheaper / less hassle than finding a new saddle. :)
 
Love my WOW. We've had the panels flocked which horse is happier with (wasn't obviously unhappy in air but is happier in flocked). Saddler consulted with WOW first then did it for £40 :)
