bates innova dressage saddle

I've got a Bates Isabel Werth saddle but I'm not very impressed how the leather has worn - it is turning a shade of green! However, it has had a lot of wear! The adjustable tree is ideal for horses that are changing shape and I find the saddle very comfortable, but I haven't tried the Innova one (yet!).
 
Me! I have got one, I think it if great. I have the extended kneeblocks which look a little bit bulky, but when you are sitting on it, it just looks like most other dressage saddles. I find it supportive but not restrictive, I can move about in mine as the seat is deep but not overly so. Shame i havent got a horse atm!!!
 
Yes I did try them both. I am sure it is down to personal preference and the length of your legs!! I am quite short (much to my annoyance) and it suits me well.
