New Bates Isabel saddle?

Just received the latest copy of Dressage Today, and noted the ad for Isabel Werth, and her “coming soon! NEW Isabel saddle” from Bates.

I ride in a wintec Isabel, and love it. Best saddle I’ve ever ridden in. [edit]

Anyone got any insider scoop?

Hmmm, I am looking for a used WIntec Isabel. Please PM me if your friend really wants to sell…

PS. I live in Australia :wink: Oh, and whilst my friend doesn’t love her Isabel, she’s not parting with it just yet. Sorry for the unintentional “ad”, I was making a rather off-hand remark which I should have worded better.

Sorry guys :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, no news of the new one? Even the Aussie forums have news! Catch up, USA! Word is that the stirrup bars are being recessed, and the tree may be tweaked.

I love my wintec version and one day I WILL own a leather one!

Is the word on the street down-under that they’ll be revising the Wintec version as well? or just the Bates?

I’m bumping up my own post… because I just bought myself a leather Bates Isabell! An old one but hopefully a good one.

Mind you, I’ve done the past ten years in ONE Bates Caprilli which is hands down the best saddle ever… 'cept when your young TB does a rodeo and you do an ouchie.

My friend did end up selling her Isabell, but not to me, and by now I think it is long gone.
