Description
Saddle Size: 15" Color: Brown


This is a rare and beautiful handmade saddle by one of Texas' master saddle makers, Shirley Brown. It is older and has lots of real silver on it, though it is missing a small stirrup concho. This saddle is wide and only 25" long and really solid and sound. It fits the wide short backed horse with a bit of a dip in his back perfectly, without bridging or pinching the shoulder. Saddles of this quality sell for over $5000 new nowadays and good luck finding one to fit. I hate to sell this saddle, but I am riding dressage now and need to free up some cash. This is the only western saddle that I found that really fit my horses. Though highly collectible, I believe such a good saddle should be used and this one is totally show worthy.  Happy riding in this true piece of art!
