Nine hundred pounds! It's lovely, an Ideal vsp perfect for Pete but sooo expensive! Need to increase my insurance now.

Oooh that does sound nice.

oooh yummy! My wintec is fine for the moment - its actually not a bad saddle to ride in but I cant wait for my own lovely second hand english leather to polish up! Oh so comfy! ;D

Me too- also, good resale value, saves money on vet/physios, I spend so much time on the horse it works out really good value, etc etc.

I have this theory (for clothes) that if you devide the cost by the amount of times you wear them, you will see how cheap or expensive they are. For instance a cheap top may only be worn a few times ( and work out at a say 2 euros a wear) while an expensive pair of jeans may be worn for years and work out at less than 50c a wear. If you get my gist, on this basis, saddles work out cheap!!

I love it! You all know how my conscience is pricking at the moment. I never thought it would be quite so dear but it IS worth it for my boy's comfort. He is so lovely.

I've done that too! £900+ for my new freeform, but its sooooooo comfy and if it helps then it's worth it!

Have fun in your new saddle

Yay for new things

It will be so worth it knowing it fits him well though
