17″ Circuit Deluxe Close Contact Hunt Saddle

Here is the absolute perfect English saddle to start a rider out right, or to upgrade for smaller shows or the 4H ring. This is an older one made before Circuit/Dover, made in Austria. Frankly, we love these older ones as they were made with far nicer leather quality. Stamped 17″, fitting true to that with a semi-deep seat. Still open enough to be considered a hunter style saddle. Making this one more than appropriate for breed shows or 4H. Offers a semi-forward flap that measures 13″. Has both knee and thigh blocks under the flap for added security, ready to pop over a couple jumps. The blocks, paired with the soft leather offers plenty of security for its rider. Stamped M, fitting true to a Medium tree, measuring 4.5″. Has a bit of a curvier tree with a wider channel. This would be a great option for an athletic built, QH type horse. Very short panel at just 18″, is foam flocked. Billets were replaced not too long ago and are in very good condition.. This saddle has been well cared for with very soft leather, however does show typical signs of use and wear. Has minor darkening on flaps from leathers and twist of seat, has a few nicks and scratches, but nothing too crazy. Leather is very soft. Has a bit of surface cracking to the very front of the panel (underside). Very superficial. This is just a nice little saddle, one with a modern look and is so darn affordable!
