I really wish I did not have to let this saddle go and I will probably regret it, but I must sell it to be able to afford a saddle to fit my current mount. This saddle is in good condition and I have taken very good care of it, but I am its second rider. It is ten years old this year, I purchased it four years ago from the original owner who had left the sport. She had it custom made to fit her. We are the same size of 5'6, short torso, long thigh, and a bit of junk in the trunk. She use the saddle to mount TB/Draft crosses. I used it with a friesian. I can not say that it is in excellent condition because it had a tear in the leather piping on the knee roll. The pipping could not be entirely replaced so it was patched, some one looking for an issue would notice it. I had it reflocked last spring and was told the tree was in excellent condition, I also had the billets replaced. It is a 18.5 inch deep seat with burgundy pipping. It fits a high wither and wide chest nicely and gives amble space for the spinal cord along the back. It does not fit young tbs, but I have found it to fit quarter horses, drafts crosses with higher withers, and thicker warmbloods very well. My new mount has a very high wither to match her width and the saddle pinches behind the shoulder blade. I insist upon a 7 day trial period, but buyer pays shipping. If you are unsure about the fit, you're welcome to send me photos and I will give you my honest opinion. I have no interest in putting this high quality saddle on a horse and it cause the animal pain.  I would love to see the saddle be a good fit for a new pair if I am to see it go. I have thousands of hours in this saddle, I vouch for its quality. I welcome emails, you can also mail me a wither tracing and I'll place the saddle on hold for a few days and see if your wither tracing is a match.
