Close Contact Saddles

Manufacturer: Courbette
Model: Aristokrat
Category: Close Contact Saddles

Purchase: I bought this saddle new from a local tack shop. It retailed just over $1600. However, I bought it on clearance for $750.

Likes: I absolutely love this saddle. The craftsmanship is beautiful and the quality of leather is outstanding. The saddle is a close contact/endurance. It has a nice deep seat and substantial knee rolls that help keep the riders legs in the correct position. It is a very comfortable and versatile saddle whether you are jumping or out pleasure riding.

Dislikes: I did not care for the calf blocks that came with it. Luckily they are removable.

Quality: This saddle is made from premium full grain smooth leather. Each saddle's leather is hand picked. It has gusseted wool-flocked panels. The craftsmanship is outstanding.

Summary: This is an absolutely wonderful saddle made from german high quality standards. If you have the money to initially invest in one you will have an excellent saddle for many years to come.
