18.5″ Otto Schumacher Profi Dynamic SF Dressage

If you have champaign and caviar taste but a beer and nachos budget, this is for you! To somehow make this deal even better, this is a true…yes a TRUE 18.5″ dressage saddle! This lovely older Otto Schumacher Dynamic SF Dressage is just snazzy, designed by top riders to help even the casual rider feel supported in their dressage journey. Stamped 30cm, fitting like a Medium with a high head tree, meaning the pommel is cut back a bit to easily accommodate a taller wither. Shape/curvy tree that is a great option for a horse that is more uphill or having some angle to their top line. Bold blocks that run the whole panel, supporting its rider’s leg without being confining. Straighter and wider flap that measures 17.5″. Adjustable point billet and self balancing rear billet, giving you many options to support varying horses. Wool flocked, surprisingly short panel at just 20″. The panel design on this saddle is so darn cool. Panels are extra wide, but not thick (standard gusset) that is set on the tree that allows for ample support for your horse without giving up a close contact feel. The high head tree is paired with set back tree points and shorter front panel to open up the shoulder. This model is very popular among Iberian/Arab/Pony people who don’t have a ton of back real estate for a saddle. Now, you may be asking why this stunner is such a deal. The top of the saddle is in condition, showing typical use. A few scuffs on the cantle, some minor surface fracking on the seat. The underside is…not great. We have no idea what the heck happened, as this is not typical wear. If we were to guess, it was stored in a box/tack trunk for while. The panel has cracking at the bent points, some deep. They are not all the way through, it can be reflocked (was recently reflocked) but its ugly. We have been very critical of this saddle, poking at the flocking and panels and this stunner is safe and sound. This one will need panels at some point (likely decades from now if cared for) but this wear lets you get your wine and caviar for your beer and nachos budget.
