Description Brand: Prestige Country/Region of Manufacture: Italy Saddle Type: Dressage Saddle Size: 18" Color: Black Model: Top
Not even broken in and practically demo condition. I can't get a visual through the slits, but with tweezers I was able to get a tiny pinch of fibers and so it is likely wool flocked. It is not a new saddle, but the person I got if from told me it sat in the tack room almost exclusively. Expected light signs of wear from leathers and a name plate was removed. Gullet is sueded which is why it looks blotchy in the pictures. It is not faded anywhere and is unmarked other than what one would expect on the flaps from being ridden for maybe a cumulative month. I would venture that it is the best condition Top you will find anywhere. 33 is Prestige's medium, but is similar to a medium wide in some brands. This saddle is quite similar to the ever popular 2000D but was made for the European market and of different leather. My opinion on the fit of this saddle is that it is best for an average to high wither. It fits a range of medium to slightly wider in width. There is a bit of curve to the tree. Laterally, it is also average, probably not idea for an extremely roofed back and also not for one that is a complete table. It can be adjusted 2 cm either way by a fitter with a Prestige press machine or can be sent off to a number of shops such as VTO for adjustment. This is a great feature as it allows more adjustments to the saddle than with a regular spring tree/wood, without risking damage. please ask additional questions before purchase. I have this saddle listed elsewhere at a lesser price. I will choose shipping method at my discretion.
