Henri De Rivel Saddles

[neigh]

Do any of you use these saddles? I was wondering as I was thinking of buying one but would like some opinions of them please.
I'm in New Zealand but saw them on eBay for much cheaper than they are available to me here. I've sat in one which was really comfy and I know the new ones have interchangaeble gullets, but the ones on eBay dont seem to have these.
Any info would be great.
Thanks in advance

Very good quality for the price, made in Argentina. The tan is bright orange and the seat leather is coated and oil does not change the colour. Watch out for wrongly set stirrup bars. The first one that I had was set with the bars so close to the tree that it was actually impossible to thread a stirrup leather onto it. Comfortable. Hardwearing. Light. A lot to like for the price.

I have one of their jumping saddles and I ADORE it. It is the most comfortable saddle I've ever sat on. I like the fact it doesn't have huge blocks but still feel safe in it. The colour does fade a bit if you keep cleaning and oiling it but just to a slightly duller orange. If you can live with the colour then I'd go for it. I'm in the market for one of their dressage saddles too
