This is a \"new\" model that was added to the Bates line earlier this year. Here is what Bates says about it... The Innova Mono+ features new, luxurious Opulence leather which is ultra-soft, very grippy and has a natural finish. Immediately comfortable requiring no breaking in time in the saddle.

The innovative, new mono flap design ensures unrivalled close contact and connection.

Recently featured on the Bates Isabell, the new Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar has been designed to reduce the bulk under your leg and can be easily repositioned to optimize your position into one of three positions.

The Innova Mono+ features a deep open seat that works in partnership with the new, revolutionary external FlexiContourbloc®, which is anatomically contoured and is adjustable, making it distinctly unique. The FlexiContourbloc®, can be moved forwards, backwards, or on a precise angle to mirror your individual position. The anatomic contour of the FlexiContourbloc® allows you to ride in and behind the bloc to support your individual position for maximized comfort and security.

This one is a size 2 which they call 17.5\" - 18\". It feels more like an 18\" to me. I love the saddle but it is too big for me and I have not successfully been able to fit it to my horse. Included are the Easy Change Gullet System and the Easy Change Riser System.

The pad and stand in the picture are not included.
