I'm selling a saddle I bought last year. I rode in it the other day it just wasn't for me. It's a comfy saddle and the lady I got it from was a good friend. I will have to get some pics of it. But it is leather and fabric fenders. Has endurance stirrups. Matching bridle,reins, and breast strap. Lite weight. Very nice made saddle..I will even include the pad that came with it.. Not sure what price I will put on it yet. I'm going to contact my friend and ask her what she did pay for it originally. I gave her 850 for it. Here are a few pics of it..  Attachment Deleted |

For one thing I don't like the fabric type fenders. It made me feel like i was forward in the seat. Just didn't feel right. If Eli Miller was still making saddles I'd have another one. Besides my Circle Y I had for years. I haven't found another saddle I feel comfy in. The Henry Miller isn't made as well as the Eli's were. I did buy one and ended up selling it. It'a a beautiful saddle but just didn't feel comfy in it..

I love the way the rings are attached and I like the simple tooling but that seems like a lot of money for a saddle that is part fabric. jmo.

Nice saddle, and the cloth fenders and skirt allow the saddle to be light weight and also allows the horse not to sweat as much, hope you sell it quick. perhaps try e-bay and put a reserve on it.

I agree but they are well built saddles and make to order..I know she paid a lot more than I got it for. I like a good leather saddle. I love my Eli Miller. It's got a lot of miles on it..But it is so comfy...

HMM if i am not mistaken clippityclop is having saddle issues perhaps message her about what you have for sale. seems all leather is way to heavy and her synthetic is not working and yours is a mixture of both.

I sold the saddle to a guy in CA. He didn't want the reins, breast strap or bridle.. What a dummy. Sold the saddle and still have over 200$ worth of tack from it, So anyone looking for some nice pieces I have them... |

The stirrups are placed really far back, no wonder it made you feel like you were leaning forward. Cool looking saddle, though. My daughter had a Bighorn with leather and fabric and it lasted for years. She sold it to another young girl because it was still in good shape and she used it a LOT.
Funny the guy didn't want the stuff that matches it.

I want another 1701 Big horn gaited saddle. I bought one and sold it prematurely.  Regretted that one. It was a very comfy saddle.... The guy that bought the Crest Ridge told me it didn't fit his horses so he has it for sale. Then he was using the pics I took of it. I saw it on one of the FB pages. I deleted the pics.. I'm like take your own pics....  |
