17.5 County Innovation Jump Saddle 2008 Excellent Condition! Serial 08021329

Description

I love English made saddles over German or French personally speaking and this one is beautiful! My riding buddy who sells used saddles recommended this brand and I think it is a lesser known saddle here in the U.S. market.This saddle is buttery soft and what I would consider minimalist. It's like wearing driving gloves instead of work gloves. The Innovation is a well balanced and doesn't interfere at all and allows you to have a truly great feel of your horse (IMO). Although this is a narrow tree from County, as I understand it they changed their gullet measurements this year (2008) I bought the narrow tree for the shoulder gussets and that was only available in the narrow tree. It is really fits more like a medium tree with a 4" gullet and has a nice wide channel with skid row panels and a great narrow twist. The flocking has never been replaced. It comes with 14" standard forward flap. This is my preferred saddle. My other saddle is a CWD and I love that one because it "locks" you on if you have a sketchy horse. But for the well loved bombproof horse, this is it! The ring for a breast collar is missing on the one side (see photo) it would be 0 to replace it. Thanks for looking!
