🔎 Condition notes
TO CLEAR : Saddle has significant wear at front on skirts.
Please study all photos carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
Please expect general wear from use e.g. to seat, flaps from riders’ legs / stirrup leathers, girth straps and knee blocks.
Flocking condition can vary and remains as received from the previous owner.
Wear to front of both skirts, including to stitching, right side is worst, pics 15, 16 and 17. Possibly this is due to previous riders low hand position rubbing front of the saddle.
Surface scrape across cantle, pic 18.
Wear to edges of seat, pics 19 and 20.
