Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Collegiate
Model: Graduate
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I purchased the Collegiate Graduate slightly used for about $500. I have to say, of all the saddles I've ever ridden in, this one is definately the most comfortable.
Likes: I absolutely love this saddle! The seat is nicely padded, making it extremely comfortable to ride in for long periods of time. The knee flaps are well cushioned, and place your leg in a proper position needed for proper equitation.
Dislikes: There's nothing to not like about this saddle. One thing about my saddle is that the leather is dry even after cleaning and conditioning it. However, this is how it arrived from the previous owner.
Quality: I believe that this saddle is made of good quality. The only downfall to my saddle is, again, the dry leather.
Summary: I needed a comfortable saddle for training, and one that looked good in the show ring as well. This saddle provides the comfort one needs, as well as a classic look. Never have I ever got saddle sores as I have from other saddles.
