17.5MWHoop TreeThis is a super comfortable saddle! It is used but is in great shape and was just re-flocked. Serge panels. The reason I am selling this saddle is that it no longer fits my horse. She is young (5 yrs old) and has changed shape dramatically since starting a rigorous training program and no longer needs a hoop tree. I am very sad it doesn't fit, since I LOVE how comfortbale this saddle felt and how beautiful it is. It is also in extremely good shape. If you have a horse with low/no withers, short back (saddle is roomy and a 17.5 gives you plenty of room if you have long thighs like I do), and/or a barrel shaped hard to fit horse.. this is your saddle. Saddle history - This saddle was purchased new in June 2012. It is a hoop tree saddle, purchased as a Wide but adjusted to a MW in 2016 by a qualified/certified Black Country location. Always cleaned and well maintained, normal wear. The cantle has just a few little nicks, the seat has some wrinkles (this is a trait of a well padded seat, which most Black Country saddles do) and does not affect the saddle whatsoever. Original price new was$3165.00 and was purchased from Trumbull Mountain Tack Store. This saddle new now is $3950.00Here is their description of this saddle:Since one of our challenges has been fitting the very wide horse, we put our heads together with Black Country to create the “Eloquence X” (as in Xtra-wide). We used our “Equinox” tree, which has proved its excellence in our distance saddle, with serge panels for softness, breathe-ability and quick break in. We stock them with reverse doe seat for the ultimate in comfort. This saddle has a medium twist with an open but supportive seat. The Eloquence X offers the modified point and rear swing billet system tapered thigh block. We’ve gotten excellent feedback from our riders on this saddle. If you have been struggling with fitting the big bodied, big shouldered horse, this saddle be the solution!The hoop tree gives more room around the wither and a bit further back so that the saddle doesn’t restrict the horse its way of going. Some saddles snug up tight against the wither a lot of horses feel claustrophobic and often, don’t want to bend or might resist picking up a canter lead.
