My friend has one and Blue's owner has one for her other horse. I really like them! They're comfy! I wish I could afford one! :)

I think they're very comfy, but some people do not like the leather, it feels...different. I think after it breaks in, though, it is pretty darn nice...I think when it's just brand new it feels almost synthetic? I can't quite describe it. Overall, I think they're nice, good quality saddles.

Oh, just something to add, I opted for the cheaper route and went with a Wintec. They're made by Bates, even made on the same tree, it's just different material. :)
