What kind of saddle is this?

[MasterBenedict]

As title - just interested to know as never seen anything quite like it?

Looks like a western/australian/endurance cross! Loving the handle, maybe I should get something similar when the time comes to start Mr Ben

Is it tree free with 'stick on' panels underneath? If so it's one of the trekker pro endurances...

I have absolutely no idea, just came across the pic and being a bit of a geek just wanted to find out

I don't think it's a Trekker treeless http://www.flexiblesaddle.com/classic.php?p=0
It looks Australian to me possibly, similar to a stock saddle, but a sort of hybrid. Is it for sale and where?? )

Yes, I don't think any UK saddles have a cinch.

Picture?

Does it have a handle?

That is a Tereque (everyday) style saddle, this one is specifically designed for gaited horses, their backs are different to trotting horses (angles are not the same) they are made so that it doesn't impede shoulder movement. The V rigging means that the girth can be placed n the correct place for each horse.

Not sure what happened there, think I accidentally deleted the pic, whoops!

Trooper?

 

[Enfys]

Look on the links, it has V rigging, Trooper, endurance or similar.

 

[MasterBenedict]

Hmm I guess it looks most like a trooper although not quite like anything I can find. Have a feeling it may just be a cheapy Indian imitation???

 

[MasterBenedict]

Ps if it help it is stamped 'couro legitimo de bufalo'

I'm guessing that translates to something like 'genuine bull leather'.......
