Martin & Martin Side Saddle.
This is a later Martin & Martin saddle in neearly pristine condition. This saddle was built for the bigger horse and taller lady!
The seat measures 23" in length from the front of the upright pommel to the rear of the seat. The seat measures a generoud 14" in width. This is a WIDE tree measuring 7.5" in the gullet and 16" from point to point. The seat and wide pommels are pigskin and in nearly perfect shape. Note that the leaping head has two positions. The saddle still has the screw-in plug to prevent dirt and debris from getting opening for the alernate leaping head position.
The panels are the original serge recently recovered in new linen. The stirrup assembly is Martin & Martin's break away bulls eye fitting. The saddle comes with the original stirrip leather assembly and bulls eye fitting. Additionally, the saddle comes with a Cope safety stirrup with the doeskin covering over the metal arch still intact! The balance strap and billets are in good condition. The saddle comes with a vintage balance girth.
The leather has been professionally cleaned and reconditioned. It is supple and in good condition throughout.
This saddle rides nicely! Priced at $1800.
