I'm a sixth grade student and am writing this letter because I received one of your Ovation Close Contact saddles for Christmas and I love it!

The quality of the leather and the stitching is great. I have been riding for about 6 years now and I have used almost every single saddle at the 5 barns that I've been to in my life. Now I have a saddle of my own, and it feels like a brand new one that I don't have to break in to get comfortable. Also it fits the horse I ride perfectly and will fit a lot of horses that I will ride.

I think that they are great for kids that want a saddle for themselves but are not able to afford one. Because of its quality in leather and how it is put together, it will be great for kids to grow in to and have it for a long time.

Thank you for your time and for the time you put into my saddle. It feels great to ride in my own saddle.
