This super nice saddle is the perfect marriage between quality, affordable, and offering wool flocking! From Ovation, the Continental Dressage is an earlier model that eventually became the Salinero I and offered very limitedly in the US. It offers a classic look with plenty of modern features. The Continental  Full grain leather that is both soft and grippy, with a true 17.5″ seat that is semi-deep with a narrow twist. Slightly forward set flaps that measure 17″, finished off with a moderate/long knee block that offers plenty of support without being constricting. On a Wide tree, measuring 6″, fitting wide with a “U” shaped tree that is a bit curvier with a wide channel. This is a great option for those foundation type QH horses or Warmbloods out there. Somehow, this one gets better! This one is wool flocked! The panels are lined with foam, flocked with wool for even more adjustment. Self-balancing rear billet, forward set point billet that stabilizes the saddle well at three points. Shorter panel at just 18.5″, standard gussets, and is just a darn nice saddle. Billets have been recently been replaced. Well cared for, showing minimal use, clearly seeing far more storage than actual ride time. This one is nice and is budget friendly!
