Seems very cheep Leia! I would also say it may be imported leather??? I would say don't touch it if it is but if it was English then it would be a very good buy, but i just think at that price it cant be!!! Just be careful as others have said imported leather is not very nice and is just not a patch on English for your bum and the horses back!

Hi
The saddle looks lovely. But what kind of quality saddle do you want? At that price and if its brand new then it will be imported leather which marks really easily, never gets soft and supple and is just generally not so nice to ride in. It wont be real suede at that price either.
I would forget about the price for a second and work out what kind of saddle you actually want. I brought a brand new leather saddle fot £200 a couple of years ago thinking that i had got some great deal and when it arrived it was imported leather and was awfull to ride in and i hated it...sold it for half the money i paid and brought a 2nd hand english leather saddle for £180 and its beautiful...lovely and comnfy and soft supple leather.
I will never buy an imported leather saddle again. DSont make the mistake that i made and then regret it afterwards.
The cut and shape of the saddle is good for ridden showing though. And like everyone else said so long as it fits that is the most important thing. |

£190 ?!?!?! OMG!!!! Is it synthetic or imported leather?
The style is absolutely fine for showing, as long as it fits and is comfortable for you and the horse, I would go for it! |

That is a bargain!
I have a leather show cut and a suede WH - only downside for the suede is they go shiny over time where the leathers are. |

If its the right size and fits Leia....it looks a nice saddle, I always like mine in something straight cut or working hunter type! I love my suede saddles would buy another any day!
