Beval
The Natural
Close Contact Saddles
Manufacturer: Beval
Model: The Natural
Category: Close Contact Saddles
Purchase: I had been looking for a saddle for about 4 months. I needed one that fit, was good quality leather, and didn't break the bank. I finally went to my local tack shop and found a used Beval The Natural for about $1600 with tax. I think it retails around $2250 new.
Likes: This saddle fits me perfectly. I sat in about 10 before this one and I knew immediately it was perfect when I sat in it. The leather looks well taken care of and is still gorgeous after being ridden in quite often. The saddle was made in England, so it is not quite as nice as the French leather, but it is certainly worth the price.
Dislikes: So far there is nothing I don't like about my saddle.
Quality: The leather is great, obviously worn, but as long as you take good care of the leather I think this saddle could last forever. The tree and billets are in great shape as well.
Summary: If you are looking for a quality saddle that won't force you to get a second job, the Natural is it. Great leather, the seat isn't too flat or too deep, like a lot of saddles right now. Overall great saddle!
