Albion SLK HH 17.5M
Marked Mmeasures 4.5" dot to dot 8.5" D to D
Overall good condition (stitching, leather, flocking, etc.). Some expected wear to the leather under the stirrup leathers
Black, leather/stitching/flocking in good shape.
Of note:
- I moved the front billet from point to free, but it has the option for either configuration
- It has flocking slits in back as well as front
- The rear gussets are really large
This saddle is great for high withered/low backed horses because of the high head and the large rear gusset. It is fairly broad in back, so not ideal for a really narrow/angular horse behind. IMO it rides a little generous for horse and rider. I bought this as an "18 MW" and didn't realize otherwise until I created this ad.
The horse I used this on retired.
Albion says:
This deep seated saddle was designed and developed with Klaus Balkenhol, German National Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, and author of several dressage books.
Fits best on a horse whose back has a bit of a curve
