SOLD!!!

We have a size 16 Oakridge Training Saddle for sale. It was for my husband and he is 5'9" and 210lbs. This saddle is currently reatailing for $1400. We paid $1200 for this saddle and we're asking $900 for it. We think it's a very generous reduction in price for only being used ONCE!! We put it on our Arab and it was WAY too long for her. It needs to be used for a TB, QH, Percheron, or a horse with a long body. It's very wide and has a nice flat tree for those wider horses. Please feel free to make an offer if you're interested.

I hate to say this, and maybe it's just my eyes and the way they see it, but either pictures don't do it justice, or it just doesn't look like a $1400 saddle.... I hope that you didn't get taken advantage of....I saw a new oakridge online yesterday for $625, and a new one with the pink ostrich by Oakridge for $400... just something about the way the leather looks kind of puckered/warped on the skirting, and the fleece underneath doesn't look high quality in these pics. (I saddle shop constantly online and off, and while I do not own a $1400 saddle, I feel I know what one looks like....)

If it were mine, I'd would take it to a reputable tack store that sells higher quality saddles and have it appraised, rather than advertise it for more than it might be worth and not get it sold.

I hope you don't take offense to my comments, none is intended.

But good news is we just sold it for $800 plus shipping, which is great for us!
