For sale is a
beautiful brown 16 inch Bob Marshall/Circle Y Endurance saddle. You
will not find many of these saddles used in this good of shape. It has
been ridden in very few times and kept inside. The pictures speak for
themselves. I tried to take pictures of every angle and every
plate/identification on this saddle. This saddle is well made and in
excellent condition. Based on the chart on line, a 16 inch Bob
Marshall saddle will fit an individual with a thigh circumference up to
24 or 24.5 inches. seat size is also variable with what size you
currently ride in a western saddle and if you like your saddle to have
snug fit or be "roomy".
Per a website that sells Bob Marshall Saddles:
Bob Marshall holds
the patent on and is the first to come out with a handmade Treeless
Saddle over 15 years ago. From Treeless Endurance Saddles to Treeless
Trail Saddles and Barrel Racing Saddles, they make them all. Bob
Marshall Treeless Sport Saddles end the 'saddle hunt'. No more
sore-backed horses, girthy horses, or horses refusing to stand still
for saddling or mounting. Finally a saddle that works with the horse
instead of against him. The Bob Marshall Treeless Sport Saddle lets the
horse turn and flex with natural movement and freedom. It is
lightweight [14-20lbs. depending on the model]. It puts the rider in
very close contact with the horse and makes it easier for the rider to
stay in balance and harmony with the horses' movements allowing even
beginner riders to feel secure.
Apparently
for a time Bob Marshall licensed Circle Y to make Bob Marshall
Saddles. This is one of those saddles and has both the names Bob
Marshall and Circle Y on the plate (see picture).
My
endurance stirrups on it currently DO NOT come with this saddle, but I
WILL include a nice pair of leather covered black western style
stirrups (shown in the pictures separately, by themselves on the
grass). I will also include a 34 inch Weaver smart girth in good
condition (see pictures). I am only selling this saddle to make money
to help pay for books to study for the Bar Exam (which cost over $800). I am keeping my endurance
stirrups in hope of buying another endurance saddle after I pass the
exam!
Shipping will cost buyer $40 to the lower 48 states,
shipping by FedEx, shipping is to US ONLY, no international buyers. I
will provide a tracking number once I ship, and can purchase insurance
on request. Please look and ask questions as I can not take returns -
proceeds will help purchase my books! I do not think anyone would be
disapointed with this saddle, it is really nice. I prefer Paypal but
can accept other forms of payment with prior approval - contact me
BEFORE YOU BUY if you want to purchase with another form of payment.
Thanks for looking!
ADDED MAY 9, 2008: I was asked about the actual length of the seat inside pommel to inside cantle - It is 16.5 inches. I have added pictures of that measurement to this listing.
