From th maufacturer "The ideal saddle for the dressage rider with a shorter leg, either child or adult. Its' deep seat holds rider in proper dressage position without locking them in place. Long straight flaps are softly padded over a pencil style knee roll. A very comfortable saddle that isn't too wide and spreading for the rider. The seat, pads in flaps and panels are made of specially tanned leather that is extremely soft and durable." My daughter loved the saddle but not the sport of dressage. She is into hunters now. Saddle was used very little. These are over $2000 new. Would like to sell as it is just taking up space in the garage.It is not even broke in yet. Fit both ponies and horses well. It has a medium tree. Also have some dressage pads that I would throw in for free and two brand new cob size bridles one with white square crystals across the browband and the other is pink lined with pink crystals $100 each. email for pics if interested.
