Gorgeous highly collectible Orthoflex gaited show/parade/trail saddle. This Sol De Flor is not only very rare, but also collectible as very few were made.
Offering this like new saddle to a new horse and rider. It has primarliy been used on gaited horses (Paso Finos), but with the flexible Ortho tree will adjust to fit most any horse. Saddle comes as shown in photos and includes a set of booties in excellent condition as well as the entire rear rigging (no billet, tie strap, or girth). This saddle is black with a dark reddish brown underside... You can see that in the underside of the fenders. If you see light spots on it in the photos that is a combination of the overhead light and my camera flash. The photos taken outside represent the color better.There are plenty of cheap saddles available for sale anymore. You can look at the close-up photos of the leather and easily tell the difference between real leather and that cheap cardboardy type of leather. This saddle is not one of those cardboard saddles. It is a custom U.
Built saddle made of quality materials by one of the most renowned saddle makers out there. Please keep in mind this particular saddle is. If there is a shortage I will cover it. More than likely (and mainly if the saddle goes east) it will end up costing me.I will also cover the insurancewhich on an amount this large will be substantial in its self. I would love for you to be able to pick the saddle up in person. And will go as far as to drive the saddle up to 200 miles for the cost of my fuel. Otherwise this saddle will have to be double boxed in an extra large box because of size and weight. Saddle is also for sale locally.
This is not a game, so please dont treat it as though it is. I will not give you any excuse that I had an emergency or cant find a box.
Those mindless excuses drive me crazy so I will not do that to you. I pride myself in thoroughly describing everything accurately. I do not hide or mislead in description or photos.
IF I FIND ANYONE ELSE COPY AND PASTING ANY OF MY AUCTIONS AND USING THEM AS THEIR OWN THEY WILL BE TURNED IN. He was very nice as well as being familiar with this saddle. The serial number is RF020.RF stands for'Ranchers Friend' and the 020 is the saddle number. I have asked him a few more questions about it and when I hear back from him I will update the listing again. Heard back from the maker, Len Brown. This saddle was made in the early 1990's.
He closed OrthoFlex in 2000 and went elsewhere. The OrthoFlex saddles made from 2000 on are not made by him.
