Good Points
I don't have any
Bad Points
Terrible fit. I have tried to find another saddler in my area who is confident in fitting these and none of the local stockist within a 30 mile radius will touch my saddler to either re-fit or buy off me. What does that tell you.
General Comments
I brought a Bates Caprilli Saddle brand new for my horse 18 months ago and it has now damaged him. It has been checked over several times by a recognised stockist saddle fitter. The care I have recieved from Bates and the saddler is dreadful. I am now left with a horse who is is pain and a saddler that wants nothing to do with it. The Cair panel has gone down and the tree has twisted even though they are designed to "never break". I don't recommend it at all.
