Excellent condition –  no damage or problems - photos of this nice Imus saddle on my 15.2 hand gaited mare to show how it actually looks on a horse. This saddle has the optional pencil roll cantle and quality workmanship Brenda Imus saddles are known for.  These saddles are designed and hand-made with beautiful supple leather, real sheep skin and heavy brass fittings with a flex tree - you can find out the details on the website Phoenix Rising Saddles – most saddles of this quality start at $3500.00 and go up from there.  Everything you ever wanted to know about the Imus saddle can be found on you tube or the Phoenix Rising saddles website.  Please check them out if you have any questions, they also have many YouTube videos. 
The horse in the photos is my half Rocky Mountain half Tennessee Walker mare, a beautiful 15.2 hand gaited horse, photos shot two weeks ago, I had major surgery and can't ride for a long time (months) which is the only reason I am selling it - I was told it is a wide tree as you can see it fits nicely. Dimensions and other specifics about the saddle can be found on the website, some info on the leather is below, please see the website for additional details.  This saddle is very nice and looks like a new saddle – it will even be shipped in the original box with free shipping in the lower 48 states - international shipping will be charged actual cost.  Please ask questions before bidding.  All sales are final.
The Primary leather used in building the 4-Beat® Saddle is Full Grain Leather. This is the best leather money can buy. The top layer of a hide is taken off and the natural markings and grain of the leather show through. This type of leather has depth and natural beauty to it. Full grain leather is the ONLY leather that will burnish (add a rich shine) over time. Many full grain leather products will show natural markings and imperfections that were present on the hide. Our leather, however, is meticulously hand selected by our craftsmen to make sure that these imperfections are not present in the leather used to make our 4-Beat® saddles.The leather used in the Pecan color 4-Beat® Saddle is not dyed, but oiled to a rich brown color.  The black 4-Beat® leather is Vat Dyed. Vat dyed leather has a more consistent and rich color than those of more cheaply hand dyed leathers. Vat Dyed leather also does not tend to "sweat out" as profusely or for as long as hand dyed leather. Only two tanners in the U.S.A. still produce vat dyed hides because the process is time and labor intensive.  *Breast collar in photos is not included with the saddle.
