Advantage Close Contact with Foam
Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Henri De Rivel
Model: Advantage Close Contact with Foam
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle used at my local tack shop for $500.
Likes: The seat is VERY soft and it has a beautiful light brown color to it. My horse moves very freely under this saddle and I feel very flowy and unconstricted. I like the foam panels because it is very soft on my horse's back. The knee rolls are perfect for me (I have longer legs) and they are real comfortable for hunter/jumper equitation.
Dislikes: The leather rubs a little bit but as long as you take care of it after you ride and oil/clean it often you should have minimal rubbing. So far there is nothing that I dislike.
Quality: It is constructed VERY NICE! Mine came to me used and nothing has fallen apart and the leather is still soft and nice. The construction is great.
Summary: I recommend this saddle to people with longer thighs. I have very long legs and this saddle works great for me on the flat and in hunter/jumper. I think that you should for sure look into HDR's if you are on a budget.
