15 Vintage Billy Royal Equitation Western Saddle

  
15 Vintage Billy Royal Equitation Western Saddle. This Billy Royal was made back when things were made right. Beautiful tooling, excellent leather, and the prettiest details you've seen. This is an older saddle, but clearly VERY well cared for. Measures 15 to stitching, but does fit a hair smaller with that nice deep seat and raised twist. Very much like a CY Park and Trail and a show saddle had a love child-very pretty while still being a comfortable, ridable saddle. Given the style and age, this one is likely on Arab Bars, measuring 6 with moderate shoulder flare and wider thru the lower part of the tree. Don't let "Arab" scare you away. Arab Bars fits a variety of horses as these trees have shorter bars in the front and more rock to the bars. This will fit a horse who has more shape to their top line with a wider shoulder well.

This one is built in an older equitation saddle style, with a lower cantle, deeper seat with raised twist and an almost duckbill type horn. This one still rides securely and is so comfortable! The tooling on this saddle is what really sets it apart. It is FULLY tooled in classic Sheridan floral tooling with silver lacing around the full skirt, cantle, and pommel.

Finished off with a nice set of conchos. The two very back conchos don't match the rest of the saddle, but match the style perfectly. The slight difference isn't that noticeable. Fenders offer a ton of adjustment. This one is an older saddle, given the style likely from the 1980's, but has been taken care of and shows hardly normal wear.

The leather is incredibly soft! This one is ready to be your next local show saddle...
