Ovation Jumping
Only answer if you have previously owned this! Opinions wanted on this saddle?
I'm trying to buy a new saddle. I really like the look of this one, and the details say it's a lifetime guarantee, so I'm willing to buy it. It looks great and will really bring out the colour of my horse.
However, I've only learned that Ovation started making saddles now. I have no idea if their saddles are durable, worth the money, long-lasting, or comfortable.
So, for those who have previously owned an Ovation Jumping Saddle, like this one (the one I'm going to buy), then I want your opinion. I know Ovation is a great brand for apparel, but if you think otherwise about their tack, please let me know so I look into a different saddle!

Serious opinions only. I want to know everything!
Ovation saddles are (and have been for quite a few years) made in Argentina, and give good value for the money. Their tree widths, shape and panel configuration make them a good fit for a leaner, Tb-type horse, but not so great a fit for the stockier, wider horses (Morgans, Qhs, etc). They're foam flocked, so there's no way to adjust the fit unless you use shims or a correction pad. If you care for it properly (regular cleaning and conditioning, no oil, and no products that aren't meant for saddles), it should last for many, many years.
Whatever saddle you buy, be sure you can get a trial period on it to make sure it's going to work for you and your horse, or at least return it if it doesn't work.
