Mark Kinlet Dressage Saddle

[TwoDaysTooLate]

Hi,

I have recently been advised by my instructor to buy myself and my horse a dressage saddle for Christmas to improve my position and help pony's back. However, as a student still in Sixth Form, I have a limited budget. I recently came across someone selling a Martin Kinslet dressage saddle in very good condition for a bargain price. However, I haven't heard of Martin Kinslet before! Has anyone had any experience with them? Do they fit narrow/wide? Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to try the saddle before I buy it, so is it worth this shot in the dark?
Thanks,
Julia

What size saddle does your saddler say your horse is?
The MK were hand built and not mass produced in the 80's I think.

Unfortunately my saddler didn’t tell me the size of my horse - just sold me a stubben which fits!!

What Stubben did you get?

I'm short so I was limited with so MANY dressage having flaps too long for me.

I have a Scandicia dl and love it.

I also have a Duett that worked great for Me and Max- he was very wide.

I don't know what Stubben it is - the type has long since rubbed off! However, I *think* it could be an Edelweiss...?

I was recommended to measure my Stubben and use that to find a dressage saddle?

I don't know too much about different ones.
