RE: Laura selling saddles
This message is from: laura fisher ...I know how wonderful this saddle is. I tried many dressage saddles and after a half hour or so riding dressage they would become torture devices. (To anyone out there who knows me I lived in NJ for a few years and was lucky enough to keep my horse at a dressage barn. ) I had no clue what saddle to buy so I begged other riders if I could try theirs'. Some people were gracious and other were emphatically notThen someone in the barn came in on an Albion.A...I will never forget it.! ...I asked if I could possibly sit in it and the answer was "yes" ..Oh my GOSH! This saddle is made for women! The problem is that I have lost over 50+ pounds and it doesn't feel right. Elise hated it and I couldn't stay balanced...I could try one more time? I intend to jump and do ring work, but can anyone tell me this is the problem? I am not going to gain the weight back so I can ride the saddle... :( I guess someone will scoff this baby up. ;( > Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:29:39 + > From: dgant...@comcast.net > To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com > Subject: Re: selling saddles > > This message is from: dgant...@comcast.net > > --Go on the Albion website, they usually have a link to used saddles - > dimensions - etc. I LOVE my Albion on my 'wider' traditional fjord, Olav, it > has a nice deep seat, super comfortable...I bought it used, on ebay, for > $1000.00 free shipping - about 6 yrs ago, they can tell you where to look on > the flaps for the info re: size etc. I will recommend this saddle to > anyonemy son has competed in it - eventing- and our eventing horse "Bjorn" > loves wearing it...Albions are worth their weight in goldgood luck! > This message is from: laura fisher > > Hello out there- > > > > I own an Albion Original Comfort dressage saddle that I want to sell.

Re: selling saddles
This message is from: dgant...@comcast.net --Go on the Albion website, they usually have a link to used saddles - dimensions - etc. I LOVE my Albion on my 'wider' traditional fjord, Olav, it has a nice deep seat, super comfortable...I bought it used, on ebay, for $1000.00 free shipping - about 6 yrs ago, they can tell you where to look on the flaps for the info re: size etc. I will recommend this saddle to anyonemy son has competed in it - eventing- and our eventing horse "Bjorn" loves wearing it...Albions are worth their weight in goldgood luck! This message is from: laura fisher Hello out there- I own an Albion Original Comfort dressage saddle that I want to sell. I have looked on the internet and have seen that it has actually held its' price, even a little more, but when I check some dressage used saddle sites they list them around $950.00 and not the $1200.or more. This is because of the "recession". My problem is: how do I represent this saddle? I don't know how wide the gullet is(do they have a gullet?- do I list the flaps the billets the wool pading etc.etc. or do I just assume they know what An Albion Origi I had a quarterhorse when I used it so I think it has a wide tree. But is the gullet in front?Underneath?... I was wondering whether I could use a measureing tape so someone would know all the dimensions and put the photos in my ad. Would their knowing the dimendsions inable them to purchace the saddle with confidence? The saddle is in great shape- just a tiny scrape on the front edge(gullet?) I do not want to get into returns policy for such a heavy objec espcially when I am not going to get top dollar for it. Has anyone gone through this process? ...I waant to get it out there and get it on Ebay as soon as I can because I need a saddle to fit my Fjord.
