Bates Isabell vs Inova?

[flippa_t]

I'm hoping to get a bates saddle for the new horse - he's only just turning 6 so will still change shape - as I've read lots of good things about them.

Has anyone got any experience of the Isabell and Inova models? What are the main difference in the ride / feel of the saddles? Do either fit any type of horse better? New horse is a fairly fine ISH.

They are expensive and I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I get the right one for me.

Thanks

Sorry I,ve only got the bates (which I love)

I have quite a few friends that swear by the isabell..

Maybe you could get someone out to try both on your horse, I had a x wide cob who is now in a medium gullet.
