This is the perfect saddle if you have a hard-to-fit horse. We tried several saddles and chose this one because it put the rider in the best position (even compared to the Passoa) and was the only saddle that could be completely adjusted to fit our hard-to-fit horse (high-withered, TB build). It has the CAIR air cushion and flexibloc systems and adjustable thigh and calf blocks that can accommodate varying thigh and calf length. The upgraded double-lined, ultra soft and grippy leather gives you superior feel and security. The Easy Change Gullet and Riser systems ensure a fully customizable fit for your horse especially as your horse’s physique changes while in consistent work. This saddle has the MEDIUM gullet plate installed but I have other gullet plates including Wide, MW, and MN available as well. This saddle was purchased new in 2014 from a local tack store and retailed for over $2300. It was used for eventing for about a year and is in excellent condition. There is normal wear on the flaps where the leathers sit but the overall condition is excellent +! Daughter switched to all black tack so this saddle is an extra and needs to go. Please NOTE: This model has the UPGRADED leather option and is not the same as the regular Next Generation model which has the standard leather. Worth the extra cost! Rider in pic is 5’7″ and average weight.
