There is a reason why top riders turn to County saddles, especially the Connection. Wait until you feel a trot in this saddle! The trot becomes effortless and so much more secure. This saddle just had a full re-flock, and hasn’t been ridden in since. This one is stamped 18.5″, and fits true to that measurement. Special ordered in this size! Per the flap, this is a Narrow, however, we feel it fits more like a X Narrower, as it shoulder gussets and Skid Row Panels, with a more “A” framed tree, measuring 3.75″. This one is PERFECT for an OTTB or shark fined, sharp withered horse. All wool flocked for even more adjustment. Moderate bold block on a standard, slightly forward flap that measures 17″, nice narrow twist and deep seat. Very short panel on this one at just 21″. This saddle hasn’t seen that much ride time, but hasn’t been stored the best. Shows some minor drying to the leather, however, it has spend some quality time with our poor 4H’er and has softened up quite a bit. The billets are a bit stiff still, but overall, this saddle is in lovely condition. At this price, you can’t go wrong. This is a lovely saddle, ride in it and you will see why County saddles are so popular!
