Manufacturer: Albion
Model: K2 Jumper MW
Category: Jumping Saddles
Purchase: Having had my one and only Irish made saddle for 27 years, I was looking to up grade. I needed a saddle that I could Jump, Hunt, Event, Hunter trial and do dressage with and that would be used every day. I tried and tested as many saddles as possible and eventually settled for the 17.5 inch K2 Jumper by Albion. My local equestrian shop wanted €1600 ($2470), so I acquired one on ebay for £650 ($1270) nearly half price. I happen to be going to Badminton in the UK the following week and made the exchange there.
Likes: This saddle puts you into a correct seat. My dressage scores have risen even though its a jumping saddle. I have the saddle three months now and I just adore it. The knee rolls and thigh blocks make it very safe for cross country. The seat is very soft and allows great movement for my 16.2 TB eventer and my 15.3 3/4 Irish Draught Hunter. I'm 5'3". I have done three ODE's, four Showjumping and two pure dressage competitions to date with this saddle. I will never use the old one again. Sheer Bliss.
Dislikes: My trainer say it will give me a lazy jumping seat as it so comfortable.
Quality: Standard English Jumping saddle. Very soft leather. Very little marking considering the work I have done with it. Good fitting knee rolls and thigh rolls. The Girth straps are shaped in a V to keep the saddle in place. Metal tree. Very good quality.
Summary: An excellent all round saddle for competing or hacking. Gives a very safe seat. No bum sores. The horse also like it as its cut away for jumping.
