Anyone know about Kings Saddlery saddles?

Hi all-

Does anyone know anything about Kings Saddlery saddles? I was at a local used tack store today and found a nice looking dressage saddle made by Kings Saddlery. I came home to do a search and can find very little info. I did find their website, http://www.kingsaddlery.co.uk/index.htm ; but that's about all I can find.

Just wondering if anyone knows of this saddle maker; good, bad?

I'm just starting out, took my first lesson yesterday from my dressage instructor so looking for a descent "starter" saddle. My mare is pretty narrow so I've been having a hard time finding a saddle to fit. This one is adjustable so that was a plus.

Thanks for any info you can give!
Erin

I have to agree, they are not the best saddles out there. We went to a scratch and dent auction and got 2 of them for $50. I decided to try one out to see if I would like it. It was horrible. I have a stubben and never realized how very comfortable and nice my saddle was until I jumped in that thing. I had a no name brand all around before my stubben and it was nicer than the king. We managed to sell them for like $100 each but unless you can get it for dirt cheap, I wouldnt go for it.
