A very sad how much

[Stinkbomb]

The time has come to sell my beloved saddle. Its two years since Simon died and i have no use for it. I wanted to keep it as it means so much to me but i jkust dont have a use for it and its gathering dust

Ive no idea on saddle prices and wondered whether you peepes could give me some idea. Its not a brill one but its in excellent condition and ive always looked after it. Its extreemly comfy and fitted my horse well.

Its a 17" medium fit havanna working hunter/ show saddle made by Palaton Saddlery ( model DEL WH?? )

Its is excellent condition bar a little dent in the seat flap as shown. There are no scuffs on the Cantle and there are slight marks as you would expect where the stirrup leathers go. There are no marks that can be seen when sat in it.

I also have the stirrup leathers and two Saftey stirrups to go but not sure whether to sell these seperatley or not???

OOPS.. sorry they are side on!!!

Theres a similar saddle in our local tack shop which sells second hand saddles. They are asking £150 for it.
The almost new ones are around £400 -£450

Hi is it def a med fit? hard to tell from the pics do you have any from front?

Ps i know how hard it is i have a virtually brand new english leather gp in my garage that had 6 months use then had to retire my horse, 5 years on its still there...

An e-bay fanatic friend of mine sold 2 of my saddles on e-bay for me and got very reasonable prices. What about scouting round the saddles for sale on e-bay and horse mags/websites to get an idea of a reasonable price then stick it on e-bay with a reserve price and see how it goes?

It was sold as a medium fit but i dont know how to tell???? Is there some point i can measure it???

This is the only one i have from the front...

Sometimes there will be an 'M' marked on the stirrup bar. But all my mediums have measured exactly 8 inches from D to D across the front.

I dont have a clue how much though, sorry.

I will measure it to make sure then!!!
