18 inch Albion 5000 XC Brown Medium

Saddles are permitted on a 5 day UK mainland trial. The trial starts on the day you receive it.
Is your fitter not coming until next week? No problem! Select your delivery date at check out. Please note we recommend having the saddle delivered 2 working days before your saddle fitting appointment in case of any unexpected delays with the courier.

Sadly we are not able to offer a trial internationally at present. However, most of our international clients still find it cheaper to import a quality saddle from UK than to source one in their own country.

Manufacturer's description of the Albion 5000 XC is unavailable

The 5000 XC is a quality Albion event saddle. An extremely popular jump saddle and a firm favourite of ours at The Saddle Bank.

The latest models are built on the Adjusta Tree. Please check the tree type in features to verify if this saddle has the adjusta tree.

The Albion Adjusta tree is a traditional wooden tree offering the option of altering the width up or down 2 sizes. However, it should not be confused with an adjustable gullet saddle. Albions are adjustable by use of a saddle press machine.

Albion products carry a comprehensive warranty that covers faulty materials and bad workmanship. In the unlikely event of a warranty claim, approved warranty replacement or repair will be carried out as necessary, free of charge to yourself upon:

Proof of original purchase
Acceptance of examination by authorised persons
Any unauthorised repairs or alterations will automatically cancel this warranty

Saddles
Saddle trees come with a 5-year warranty for breakage while subject to normal usage and conditions. All other saddle components come with a 2-year warranty for manufacturing errors or component defects, this warranty does not cover wear and tear.

All adjustments to Albion trees must be carried out by authorised persons only.

‘Adjusta-tree’™ is suitable for pressure machine adjustment.
Platinum trees are suitable for interchangeable adjustment.
All other trees must be returned to the Albion factory for adjustment.
Please Note: Albion panels are filled with pure new wool and are stuffed to a medium consistency in order to mould naturally to the shape of the horses back. We recommend that a new saddle is checked after approximately 12 weeks as the wool will settle to the horse’s shape. All wool flocked saddles should be completely re-flocked after 2 to 3 years of use.
