Crates Show Saddle 16 #2416 Black Western Show Saddle

  

16" Crates show saddle #2416 (made in 1993, QH bars, all data is readily available on the crates site) fenders have been trimmed and shortened, great for someone with shorter legs (I have a 30" inseam and have plenty of room to raise and lower them). Saddle has been dyed black, I've ridden in it several times since and have no color bleed onto my jeans. The ultimate goal was to replace the seat with something exotic, but I'll let the new owner make that decision for themselves.

Definitely thought I'd be doing the pleasure and WR, but my mare wants to drive and do ranch riding instead, so this saddle needs a new home. There's a dent in the horn cap silver, but the rest of the silver is in otherwise very good condition. I did a Nevada twist on the fenders to help my bad knee, fenders are VERY comfortable now without having a ton of wear to get them that way.

Will sell with a Schneider's anti-tarnish padded carrying case. THIS SADDLE IS NOT NEW, it has scratches and dents and all the character you'd expect from a 30+ year old saddle, but looks fantastic for its age thanks to the dye job. I've done it many times to every continent except Africa and Antarctica. I'm not including a ton of detail photos here, I don't want them stolen and someone getting scammed from my photos. I'm happy to set up a FaceTime or fb messenger video call so you can inspect and have whatever measurements taken.

This has been a wonderful saddle and the next owner will be lucky to have her.
