Zaldi Royale Event Saddle (also in CR)

[barneyhunter]

My saddle fitter suggested sometime ago that the saddle most likely to fit my horse is an Albion K2 X-Country, however he doesn't sell them (we have tried so many others its not true).

I have searched everywhere for a secondhand one as I can't afford the £1250 price for a new one. I have seen an advert for the Zaldi and wondered if anyone on here had one and were they happy with it? Also does anyone know if the tree/fit is anything like an Albion and is it anything like the K2 X-C?

I know they wil refund if it doesn't fit, but I would rather not have to pay for postage return if I can at least do some research first.

My horse has a TB type wither with whopping warmblood shoulders. Everything we have tried so far is either fine on the wither and back but then impeeds his shoulder or vice versa. Getting rather fed up with riding in my dressage saddle and want to get jumping again.

Thanks for getting this far

There is a 2nd hand Albion K2 on here, but it is a GP. Worth keeping an eye out on this site, there are sometimes some real bargains.

Thank you, I will keep an eye on that site too. Unfortunately we have already tried the GP albion and know that doesn't fit. I'm sure my horse is determined that I spend ALOT of money on him!
