16.5″ County Innovation Short Flap Close Contact Saddle

Youth or petite riders–take a look at this one! Ride in a County, and you will find out why these saddles are so popular among many riders, even those at the highest levels! The Innovation is a well balanced and classic saddle, putting our leg in the perfect condition while not confining your leg. This one is a 16.5″, fitting a bit bigger than measurement. We are considering this a generous 17″. Has a great narrow twist and more of a hunter style seat. Per the flap, its on a Medium tree, however the Innovations have a tendency to fit a bit wider and this one does as well. Fits like a wide Medium with a 4″ gullet and offering a wider channel and lower profile shoulder gussets. This one is a 2010 model-but you’d never guess. Frankly, we’ve seen County Demo saddles with more use than this one. It is PRISTINE! Butter soft leather, hardly shows a mark from leathers. In fact, we think its employment has consisted of being conditioned, told how pretty it is, then stored in a 5-Star tack room. Flocking is perfect, billets are perfect, seriously-we’d be shocked if this one had more than a dozen rides. Per flap, this one is on a short flap measuring 12.5″ (13.5″ wide), semi forward flap with blocks. This model is the perfect “all event’ saddle, even popular in breed show hunt classes! This one has both knee and thigh blocks under the flap the gives your leg ample support without being confining. Shorter panel at 18″, standard 2” rear gusset. This saddle has upgraded calf leather that has just the right amount of texture and ample grip. You won’t find a saddle on the market in this condition without buying new! Ride in a County and you’ll never go back!
