Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Collegiate
Model: Graduate
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I bought this with my money earned from Christmas. I paid $375 for a 16.5 with a medium tree used at Saddlers Row. I thought it was a good deal considering this is my first saddle.
Likes: I real like the color of it and the saddle itself is really comfy. The leather isn't really hard at all and I really love the price too. My trainers said if fit me really well and It fits the horse I ride nicely. I also love how the seat give a bit of a bounce so when posting it cushions but it's not too much bounce where it gets uncomfortable at the canter or sitting trot.
Dislikes: I really enjoyed everything about the saddle. I hope it continues!
Quality: The leather quality seems pretty good. It's not top of the line but it's not cheap either. It's very soft and the seat has nice cushion. The tree is quiet and being used when bought, it's still holding up quality well.
Summary: I really enjoy this saddle and I think anyone who purchases it will too! It's really worth the cost and the quality for the price is fantastic!
