SUPERB CHOICE ON THE MARKET, AMERIGO SADDLES ARE SOLD FOR TOP DOLLARS, BUT YOU CAN BE SURE IT WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT."Peter Menet's first priority as a saddle designer is to create saddles that allow horses to move freely with weight of the rider placed as far forward as possible to minimize strain on the horse's back.

THE FEATURES OF THE SADDLE:- Unique, really top class design of the tree and outstanding craftsmanship. Wonderful balance and construction is helping the back of the horse lift up and allow the shoulders move freely forward and up. - BLACK, grippy, butter soft but very durable ITALIAN leather, which provides ultimate comfort and beauty. The seat and padding on the flap is calf skin, while the flaps are the highest quality cow hide - more durable and easy to maintain in the long run- The molded padded flap provides leg stability and support- Big anatomically shaped thigh block for precise leg and seat position- Very horse and rider friendly saddle. Please read the Peter Menet saddle seat philosophy online- Light weighted, compact and super attractive- Narrow twist but flat supportive area for the seat bones- Extremely supportive, DEEP SEAT which allows relaxed pelvis and naturally dropped, "hugging" leg for easy and effective riding. When riding in this saddle i was surprised how easy i can shift my seat bones for those turns and lateral movements - Real wool flocking, banana shaped panels for better fit- 4.0" wide channel between the panels and partially cut back wither portions of the saddle means increased comfort and greater fit for those big moving, uphill modern warmbloods with muscular backs and prominent withers- Shorter front panels - fantastic solution for those big rotating shoulders of modern dressage horses, greater fit and free forward ground covering motion - your extended trot will be just breathtaking!- Very clever girthing system - provide great stability, adjustability and close contact. No bulk under the leg! SUPERB FIT FOR MUSCULAR THOROUGHBREDS OR MODERN WARMBLOODS.Measurements (i can also send the pictures with the ruler applied to any part of the saddle, just ask!)- from the front of the pommel button across the seat to the middle of the cantle - 18.0". This measurement is confusing for the buyers, the seat rides like 17 -17.5", not 18". It is a specific of Amerigo saddles which have unique seat construction with deepest point shifted closer to the horse's withers- the flap is 16 1/4" long from the stirrup bar straight down (considered Long by Amerigo, but quite normal for many German saddles) gullet entrance - 5.5"- between the d-rings - 8.5"- width of channel - 3.5"the serial number reads 17 L2142113 4 +1 1/2The saddle is in VERY, VERY GOOD USED CONDITION, it was used very respectfully and always babied! The tree is solid, 100% sound and checked by Master Saddler some months ago. The leather is fabulous! Super feeling and a pleasure to look and touch. The signs of use mostly are at the bottom of the flaps, where the rider's leg applies - expected for the used saddle, very superficial and not affecting the performance. There is some slight browning of the black leather on the cantle, but it is seen only on the bright light. Also, there is one small ding on the cantle, nothing big, i can send the picture for the interested buyer. For uncertain reason, there are some scratching marks on the bottom of the panels, like someones nails marks - it was like this when i bought this saddle used, and it was never a problem. You can see the marks on the picture with serial number and panels. Really a mystery and unfortunate, but i must disclose it. It was always stored in the temperature controlled tack room, under the saddle cover and cleaned after every ride with conditioning once a week with special conditioner! The billets are excellent, solid and safe, the stitching is simply PERFECT. No needs for repair or reflocking! I love my tack and treat it with respect and great care, so it is a wonderful condition for used saddleREMEMBER, THIS IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY SADDLE AND MADE TO LAST A LIFE TIME, EVEN AT EVERY DAY RIGOROUS RIDING. THEY JUST DONT DO SADDLES LIKE THIS ANYMORE. VERY, VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WINNING BIDDER!The saddle will be shipped via UPS from California. In the big box with plenty of padding, with tracking and at the door delivery. The shipping costs are $85.00 for low 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii please ask. International shipping is possible, please ask about price. Insurance is highly recommended! This is a private sale and i can't provide trials or returns. Since i want you to be happy with purchase and future success with this saddle, i'm willing to answer many questions, send additional pictures and take all the measurements needed. Even though i'm confident the winning buyer will be simply THRILLED with this saddle, i understand the need of learning about details and fit BEFORE the bid. This great saddle is a rare find for someone who wants to ride better and save on the retail price, so bid soon and enjoy the auction!
