Description
Brand: Pessoa Saddle Size: 17"
Color: Brown Model: A/O
Saddle Type: Jumping/Close Contact


I bought this saddle new in 1996. It was by far the most comfortable close contact I ever tried, and it fit a wide array of horses, from warmbloods to throroughbreds and a Morab perfectly. It was always the go-to saddle for a hard-to-fit horse at the eventing barns where I trained. It was so comfortable for me, I also used it for a period of time to condition endurance horses.The flap stamp (hard to see in the photo) specifies it was made in England and has a spring tree. This saddle was lovingly cared for throughout its life and it has decades of enjoyment left to offer. No issues or damage aside from sweat stains on the underside and on the seat, which are visible in the photos. Billets are in good condition. The saddle is 100% original, no parts or pieces ever replaced, added or modified. The original Pessoa saddle cover will be included, and used leathers and irons can be included as well (good spares) if you want them.Sorry, cannot ship to Alaska or Hawaii.Thanks for looking!
