Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Thornhill
Model: Pro-Trainer
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle VERY LIGHTLY used off of Ebay for about $450.
Likes: This is the best saddle I have ever ridden in! Not only is it "pretty" but it has a seat and knee rolls that feel like heaven. It is a very comfortable saddle that has fit me and every horse I've tried it on perfectly-from narrow Thoroughbreds to wide-back ponies. It, unlike many other saddles I have tried, does not "put" you into any position and that quality makes it perfect for flatwork and jumping.
Dislikes: Nothing.
Quality: The woman I purchased this from said it had been heavily used for about a year and when I received it there was not a mark on it. Even the billets looked untouched. I have only had it for about a month now but the soft leather is scratch resistant and it seems like it would last a long time.
Summary: Great saddle. Perfect for anyone wanting a comfortable saddle with a true close contact build.
