Bates Advanta 17.5 BLACK

Description

I ordered this saddle from England because the solid black is almost impossible to find. I hate selling it but unfortunately have recently gained weight and the 17.5 inch seat no longer fits me.
This is my absolute favorite saddle and I have had everything from County to Devoucoux.  I always felt incredibly secure and confident no matter what I was doing while riding in my Advanta.
One of the features I love about this saddle is that I can adjust it myself. As I had a young horse who was growing it was ideal to be able to have a saddle that grew with him. It also allowed me to adjust my saddle to ride my other horses.  Currently has a medium narrow plate but I have several others. I also have the panel kit which will go with the saddle.
As you can see from the photos it is in better than demo condition. Kept inside and lovingly cared for. The saddle is so pristine it does not even have stirrup leather marks. Happy to provide more photos or information.
