I've never owned a bates, but I had a collegiate (sp?) for years and I loved it. Held up GREAT, also.

Is this a dressage saddle? I would say Bates.

Do you have pictures of them? What are you planning on doing with the saddle? Do they both fit you and your horse?

Trixiesue · 12-28-2005, 01:29 PM

If both are around the same price you would want to look at the Bates, The suggested Retail price for a new Bates Caprilli is currently $1795.00 and the Collegiate Convertible CC is $994.50 (this is for brand new ones) Unless one is more used than the other?

One is off someone on here, and one is off ebay, I hope they fit, if not I'll trade them in at the local tack shop, or have to resell them.. but it should fit. thanks for the help guys!
