16.5" Bates Caprilli jump saddle!  Made in Australia (not Vietnam like some).  Flaps measure 14.5" from the top of the stirrup bar to the bottom of the flap.  Removable/Move-able velcro knee blocks for extra security where you need it!  Comes with the amazing CAIR panels and adjustable gullet system.  It has a medium gullet in it now but I can switch it to any gullet size you need, just mention it in the notes when you buy it and I'll put that size in before it ships.  This saddle was designed to fit the majority of horses!  If you switch horses or your horses back changes, you don't have to buy a new saddle - you can simply switch the gullet plate out!  The CAIR panels conform to your horses back!  It has normal wear from stirrup leathers but the seat and billets are in excellent condition.  All stitching is tight and intact less the stitching on the very bottom of the left flap where the leathers rubbed (that flap has more wear due to it being very soft leather). The name plate on the back can be removed and replaced with your own! The leather is butter soft and supple. Cleaned, oiled with Pessoa leather oil and rubbed down with Effax Lederbalsm.  The panels got wet (love WA weather) and have some water-bump marks and discoloration.  Doesn't effect the use at all.  It's nicely broken in and ready to go! Super comfortable for flatwork, jumping and trail riding!  A favorite among riders and horses alike!  Happy Bidding and Happy Riding!
