Bates Elevation Jumping Saddle?

[flyingfeet]

Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh? I have been browsing through the naughty catalogues and thinking of asking Santa for one, knowing my luck it probably won't fit!

Just wondered whether anyone knew much about them, as although they have been out in the US for a while they seem to be a new launch here.

Bates are lovely saddles and very comfy, but are known for having a slightly banana shaped tree...they also put riders into the armchair position cos the stirrup bars are quite far forward!! Havent seen the elevation yet though
