Manufacturer: Whippey
Model: Close Contact Saddle
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle used on eBay. I had never heard of the saddle manufacturer, but the pictures and description sounded good, so I decided to give it try. I also paid under $200, so I thought I couldn't loose.
Likes: Everything about this saddle is fantastic. It put me in a very balanced position on any horse that I've ridden with it. I feel secure whether I'm hacking or jumping and it looks great when showing. It doesn't have any knee rolls, but it doesn't matter. This is pretty much a total replica of a Crosby.
Dislikes: There really isn't anything that I'm truly unsatisfied with. I have a Crosby as well, and I love both of them the same.
Quality: The saddle doesn't have very much padding, if any at all, which is a huge deterrent for some, but the position that it puts you in, more than makes up for it. The leather is top quality, the billets are reinforced in a way that most saddles I've seen can't match.
Summary: I would definitely recommend this saddle to anyone is on the fence about buying it. I'm very happy with it.
