I believe this to be a rare find, I have looked everywhere I could think of, and have not found photos of another. The tapaderos are long, and well decorated. The stirrups themselves are wood, one has a split, and they should be replaced if the saddle were to be used. As a display, they are fine...
They are very well decorated and horse heads appear on all of the larger silver spots. These same horse heads are on the breastplate, and all over the saddle.There are a few stitches missing above one of the silver adorned teardrops on the breastplate, and the drop is loose. It is a very easy fix. The short leather straps that attach the breastplate do show some cracking, and should also be replaced.
The leather of the saddle is all very pliable and good. The stirrup leathers adjust by a simple belt type buckle. This is a little lower grade saddle than some of the Ted Flowers I have owned, but it is still lovely. The seat is a strong 16 inch, measured from the inside rim of the cantle straight across to the same level on the pommel.
