Gorgeous very lightly used saddle. Made to template, but it fits Medium slightly to the narrow side in my opinion. It can be adjusted by a fitter up to 2 cm wider, Hastilow USA quoted $60 to adjust to template. This saddle has not yet had any adjustments on the tree. That should put it in the range of a medium wide. 5.5" approx where dots would be at the top of the panels. Serge wool bottom, wither gussets, Optima seat, deep back gussets, printed vintage leather, schrumph seat. $3525 original price. Wool flocked panels in excellent condition. The mottling you see in the pictures is the printed vintage which is beautiful in person and designed to enhance grip and be soft and pliable. The most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden in and of incredible leather quality, but the panel/tree configuration is not right for my horse and no amount of adjusting will change that fact. I'm very sorry to see it go. In my opinion, this saddle is an excellent fit for classic high withered TB or TB/WB cross conformation with a fairly straight back as there is not much front to back curve to the tree. Lots of room for the shark fin withers and gussets for those hollows! I am willing to look at pictures of your horse's back and give my honest opinion of whether it would be a definite NO for your horse or if it might be a good fit.
