Saddle History
This particular saddle was ordered in 2025 and the horse soon became not sound enough to ride. The owner then switched to a different saddle for her new horse. Therefore, this saddle has seen very little use. It has been meticulously cared for and has been kept in air-conditioned tack rooms.
Pre-owned saddles are sold as-is. All sales final.
This saddle was checked by a certified saddle fitter and found to be free of defects.
