Does anyone have any feedback on the Bates Caprilli dressage saddle?

I had a ride in a Bates Caprilli Dressage saddle today. I think that I am buying it. It is an older model but is sooooo nice and comfy. Just one thing, The flaps come down about halfway down my shin. Is this right? I will get some photos tomorrow of it.

Has anyone owned or own a Bates Caprilli? What did you think of it and was it a good saddle?

Thanks

Bump!?

I've heard great things about them! Here's some reviews:

Well that's good!! I will have to take a few photos of it today to share

Please do!

Im going to give it a clean soon and then I will take a few photos. It is second hand but still in nice comdition luckily.

Here it is, I gave it a clean.

I like older models, but new dressage saddle by Bates is just something - SO huge blocks.

I was thinking of getting the one with the counterblocks in it. But I like this one better. I can show in this one and it will still look good.
