Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Collegiate
Model: Graduate
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I do not own this saddle, but my barn owns several, and are used for lessons. When i get my own horse, i will surely look for one of these saddles as my first choice. These run for around $850 new.
Likes: I think these are gorgeous saddles, and love the rich chestnut color. They are not slippery and are very comfortable to ride in. They are great for jumping and or flatwork. The flaps on it are a little worn from the stirrup leathers, but its not very noticeable. Its stayed in excellent condition from what you'd expect from a saddle being used a couple times a day.
Dislikes: Nothing! I really love riding in these saddles.
Quality: I think these saddles are wonderfully made and are great for people who want to show, to people who just ride for fun a few times a week. They are very comfortable for both horse and rider.
Summary: When I get my own horse, I will definitely look for one of these saddles, or a saddle by Collegiate. They have very nice quality, but are not loads of money to buy.
