Description
Brand: Hans Biglajzer Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Saddle Type: Sidesaddle


Here is a lovely sidesaddle by Hans Biglajzer, master saddlemaker from Bend, OR.  It is lightly ridden and in excellent shape. The tree is a med/med wide, fit my 1200lb, moderately withered TWH fine. Please refer to the photos for other measurement questions. Comes with balance strap. Hans has a very interesting story. As a young man he learned to make saddlery and this skill allowed him to survive the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Dachau.  After the war was over, he determined to continue to hone his skills and become a world class saddlemaker. He has now retired but was still building his sought-after saddles late into his 80's.  You can find interviews with him online.
