All Purpose Saddles
Manufacturer: Lovatt and Ricketts
Model: All Purpose
Category: All Purpose Saddles
Purchase: I got this saddle at a used tack store for $200. It's the best money I've ever spent on a saddle.
Likes: I absolutely love this saddle. It's deep seated, esp for an all-purpose, and so is more suitable for people who ride dressage than use for high over fence work. It would be a classic cross country saddle. The leather is tough but supple. I've had it about 10 yrs, it wasn't new or even newish when I bought it, yet it is sturdy and shows little signs of wear.
The cut back gullet allows for high-wither fitting, too.
Dislikes: It's not a flashy saddle.
Quality: Excellent quality throughout. My saddle flocker attempted to buy this saddle from me... I expect to keep it forever.
Summary: Love it.
