Cambridge Dressage saddle?

JumpsxGlory · 01-18-2005, 12:56 PM

I am looking for my own Dressage saddle so I decided to take a look at what ebay had and I found a new Cambridge 17" seat with a starting bid of $102.50 and it looks great! Lovely condition and great looks. Only thing is.... I have never heard of the brand so I wanted to know if anyone else has and your opinions on it or the saddle itself.

Thanks in advance!

I've heard of it and ridden in a few. Its not a terrible brand, i'd say about the middle of the price range. Its not super expensive and its not cheaply made, they do their job and they're durable

Good deal for $100!!!

I have one. I bought it as my first saddle, and have yet to replace it. It's been nice, and has held up very well. I am looking to buy a nicer saddle, though, now that I've been serious about dressage for a few years.

I think I may invest in one but I'm not sure....

They're okay, like was said above, they are not the top of market, but they aren't cheaply made either. It could be a good deal. I don't know how they are at fitting horses though.

I use to work at a tack store where we sold them. They aren't bad saddles. Like someone said they aren't top line but they are not bottom line eaither. I would say that if it is a up-grade from what you have or if it's your first saddle that I would go for it.
