Description: I’m so sad to post this saddle 🥹 Even after multiple attempts, the fitter says it’s time to let it go because these ponies are just too wide for it. And she’s been right on a lot of things, lol. This is a marvelous monoflap Dressage saddle, truly loved riding in it - very comfortable and secure and Hard to Find Wide tree fit!
