I have a Collegiate, and I am very happy with it! If you end up getting one I recommend getting an inner changeable gullet, that way if you get a new horse or what not you don't have to use a different saddle! I got mine 400$ used in great condition! I'll go see if I can find a picture... Also yes, AVOID wintec!!!! It ruins horses backs from my experience, also they wear down quickly.

Found an image from my saddle, ignore the dreassage pad lol

Collegiate Clicky

Ahh, I feel the Collegiate reviews are so mixed! A horsey group I'm in on Facebook had a Wintec vs Collegiate post and all of the comments were strongly against the newer Collegiates and all for Wintecs. So conflicting! But Collegiates definitely look nicer 😍

As sombody with hardly any butt , i find them so very comfortable, and the knee rolls are pricless! Its an overall amazing saddle <3

I think I might have to reconsider Collegiates! I tried looking for some second hand Bates but there are absolutely none around me at the moment... what model Collegiate do you have if you don't mind me asking? :D

Im not really sure... but i think it was either a 'Collegiate Graduate Close Contact Saddle' or 'Collegiate® Honour Close Contact Saddle'

I've ridden in Collegiates many times and absolutely hate them... maybe it depends on the model. They also never fit my tall slim athletic-y type horses
