This saddle is an unusual English seated saddle, I have never seen before, I am not sure if it is considered an Endurance Saddle, Trooper Saddle, or some sort of Australian Saddle. There is no maker's mark that I found. It is not high quality leather, but is solid and well stitched, it reminds me of many Australian saddles I have seen in construction. I have lightly cleaned the leather, it could use a more thorough cleaning, and a few treatments of oil to soften up, it is not dry, just not broken in.

The seat measures 17" when measured as an english saddle, the gullet measures 6 1/2". This comes as shown with leathers and slightly rusted irons. Please use the pictures as your description, and ask any questions prior to bidding. This saddle is used, but not abused, the tree feels solid as do the bars.

I apologize to all who have inquired on the shipping costs, either E-Bays' Shipping calculator is not working properly, or with U.S.P.S rates going up this week, there is a glitch in their system. I found a smaller shipping box that this saddle will ship in, and I am able to calculate rates on my own, but now, E-Bay will not let me update the shipping information !!!!! Rolling my eyes !!!!!

Here is an idea of the approximate costs to ship this saddle, via Parcel post; West Coast between $ 38.00 and $ 42.00, Central U.S. around $ 25.00 to $ 30.00, and Eastern U.S. between $ 15.00 to 20.00. These do not include shipping insurance, which is required and charged at cost. The rates are high due to the large size of this box/saddle, I am not adding any handling charges, it is the postal service ripping you off, not me, L.O.L. hahahah. I can also check into U.P.S. shipping if the winning bidder would prefer. If you are the winning bidder, please contact me as soon as possible with your shipping address, and I will get an exact cost for you. Thank you for your patience!
