17" dressage saddle, new

[catwalk]

This black dressage saddle is 17" with a medium tree. The gullet measures 8" from one dee ring to the other. It is unmarked, but it was sold to me as a Dover. I don't know if it is or not, but it IS comfortable. It comes with all new 22" Ovation girth, Silver fox 54" leathers, and shaped pad. The irons still have the SLT tags, but the pads are brittle, so they may be older. I have a tall slab-sided thoroughbred, and this saddle doesn't fit him. The pommel touches his withers when I am mounted, so I need a narrower tree. $290 is my cost for everything, and I still consider it new, as I have only ridden in it a couple of times. Shipping costs are approximate: it's the average shippping cost I've been seeing on ebay.

I can't guarantee anything because I'm not sure what exactly my mom is looking for (she's on the hunt for the right dressage saddle), but I'll show this to my mom when I get a chance!

Yay! It has been seriously 7 years since I've ridden in any saddle, so I can't give you any comfort comparisons, but I can tell you that I would be very happy with it if it fit my horse. He cantered for me a bit yesterday down a long cemetary lane, and it was the "floatiest" canter I have ever ridden! I can't wait to get him something that doesn't hurt him and get back up there again!
