Amish craftsmanship at its best. A real work saddle, not some "roper style" imitation. Leather is thick and excellent quality, well-conditioned. Tree sits you close to the horse. 16" seat. Semi QH bars. Higher cantle makes for a secure ride for team roping or for trail. This saddle was over $1000 new. Too heavy for me to lift for every day. (770)932-0591 (I prefer email--please)
