>>>>I was surifng the web looking at saddles for Lukka again and I found these. HNAKKVIRKI SADDLES - they have a new saddle called the "Cowboy saddle"
>>Pretty narrow saddles from what I have seen. That's bad enough, but I've noticed that when saddles labeled with an "Icelandic" brand or model go up for sale on ebay, they often get no bids, take forever to sell, and/or sell for only a fraction of their original price. I'd be VERY hesitant to buy an "Icelandic saddle" for that reason - even though the narrowness is a more important reason, I have had to buy and sell too many saddles over the years to risk losing $500-1000+ on each one! Even our "Icelandic"-named Free N Easy saddle didn't seem to attract as much attention on ebay as did the other FnE's I've seen for sale there. I finally sold it, but I had to list it about three times, and most saddles I've sold with one listing. I was lucky that I bought it used for a decent price, but even so, I lost about $500 on it. The only thing "Icelandic" about it really was the name - it was a pretty wide saddle, and was made of a nice quality leather. It did have an "Icelandic style" quilted seat (which should be nice for any rider) and a flat seat. Karen Thomas, NC
