The Bates Caprilli Close Contact+ with upgraded Luxe leather in size 17.5. Standard panels. This saddle is totally adjustable with the Easy-change gullets. I bought this saddle new a little less than a year ago. Always brought home and kept in air conditioned room. Just bought a custom fit saddle for my horse so no longer need. Loved the comfort of this saddle. It also comes with 4 Bates Easy-Change gullets (Extra-wide, Wide, Medium-Wide (installed), and Medium (retails for $35). Includes Bates saddle dust cover. Absolute pristine condition!


The Luxe leather is hand-selected from the finest calf-leather in the world and meticulously cared for throughout its specialized tanning process.
