Condition of the Used Saddle

  • Condition of the Leather:  Saddle is in excellent condition!  Leather is nice and buttery soft. 

  • Any blemishes on the saddle:  There are strirrup impressions on the flap as expected.  There are a couple superficial nicks and/or impressions but you would have to look REALLY hard for them.  No deep scratches or punctures observed.

  • Tree:  The tree is solid and sound as I check it thoroughly.  I check it by twisting and bending between pommel and cantle.

  • Billets: All eight (8) billets are fully functional and are in good contition.  In actuality the previous owner only used four billets so the remaining four are in like-new condition
