Purchase: I paid R7000 for this saddle which is around $1000 (I am from South Africa). I bought it from AC Smith in Durban and I bought it to stop me flying out the saddle every time my horse overjumps.
Likes: Absolutely everything! My legs stay in position as there are knee and thigh rolls, it isn't too much of a deep seat and it has a square cantle, it is so comfortable. The panels are wool flocked but are not hard and therefore lovely and comfortable for my horse.
Dislikes: Nothing at all!
Quality: The quality is exceptional. The leather is argentinian and beautifully as well as cleverly designed. It looks pretty too.
Summary: I would definitely recommend this saddle to anyone wanting to jump at a high level. It is fantastic and the price is great for what you are getting.
