Thank you cremedemonthe for your insight and knowledge. I agree with you totally about the far superior traditional methods of saddlemaking not being cost effective any more because of cheap mass production and I find it very sad. I had no idea just how far down the hill modern methods had...
Thanks Alec, the cantle is thick because of the soft padding on the seat, it's actually extremely comfortable to sit on, I am familiar with Hermes saddles and the influence that they have had on saddle design. The saddle is actually very neatly made and the leather is beautifully supple which...
Here are a couple more photos of the stirrup bar and the sweat flap if it helps, I'd really appreciate anyone's help in identifying the make of the saddle
Thank you for that cremedemonthe, but where did you hear about the stitching along the top of the skirts theory? Both my Kieffer and my County both have stitches along the top of the skirts, and I just asked my friend to look at her £3,000 Hermes saddle and, yep, stitches along the top of the...

So I gave up...
I'm so, so sorry that you're having to go through this. Try to find comfort that she was with you, who really loved her at the end and that you gave her a happy and loving home.
I went through exactly the same thing with my boy, Rocket. I first noticed something wasn't right in the August, he...
Does anyone recognise this saddle logo please?

Thank you
