Description
Brand: Pessoa Saddle Size: 17.5"
Saddle Type: Jumping/Close Contact Model: Nelson Pessoa
Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom


17.5 Nelson Pessoa Jumping/Close Contact Saddle, with a medium tree.This saddle has the label indicating "N. Pessoa Paris".  This is a 1990s era Pessoa from the time period when Pessoa saddles were still made in the UK with English leather.  If you research these older Pessoas, you will learn that the quality of these saddles is exemplary.  Pessoa began manufacturing its saddles in South America during the 2000s and they were never comparable to the leather quality and durability of the 1990s models.  The saddle's leather is in great condition, with only some cosmetic blemishes including minor scratches on the cantle and knee pads.  The marks on the cantle and elsewhere are just  superficial scratches. The leather has been conditioned regularly and the saddle has been well-maintained and lightly used.  The tree is sound.  The panel flocking appears evenly distributed and full.  Billets are in very good condition. The saddle has slender knee rolls.  It provides a comfortable close contact feel, and in my experience has fit a variety of horses from a high-withered TB to a stock Appy.  Additional features: - front D rings for attaching to a breastplate- safety stirrup bars- 2 billet guards Returns and Shipping: Please note that I will not accept returns of the saddle.  I am happy to answer questions, take measurements and take additional photos for your review before you bid.  Shipping is flat rate.  I usually ship within CONUS only but may consider shipping to outside CONUS or Canada, if we have made prior arrangements (please contact me before you bid).  Please also note that the saddle may be for sale on another site and therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early.  Thanks!
