Description
Saddle Size: 18"


This leather saddle is in impeccable shape and has been well cared for and kept in climate-controlled tack room. Very comfy with small thigh blocks.  What most people don't realize (I didn't anyway)'is that the CAIR system in Bates saddles is comprised of small air pouches within foam. These air pouches deflate over time and then you are left with a foam saddle which is difficult to reflock. Three of the four pouches in this saddle had deflated so I had my saddler reflock it with wool making it possible to shape it to a horse's back.  The gullet system is intact and I am including the medium-narrow, medium, medium-wide, wide and extra-wide gullets as well as the Easy-Change gullet gauge. The saddle is currently fitted with the medium (red) gullet.  Stirrups and leathers are not included.  Shipping to continental US only. Local pickup can be arranged (near Baltimore, MD)
