18" HDR Henri de Rivel Advantage English Close Contact Jumping Saddle w/Fittings

Description

I have too many saddles and need to make space in the tack room so I am selling several saddles including this Henri de Rivel (HDR) Advantage Close Contact Saddle with flocked panels in mint condition. It is all leather in Australian nut color, (slightly lighter than Havana brown) with an 18" seat and wide tree
and has an improved wider channel
which fits wider built horses such as quarter horses and warmbloods.
The flocked panels are designed to shape to the horses back over time. I bought the saddle for a horse which I now longer have - it
has only been used three times and is in truly excellent condition with no damage and virtually no signs of use.  This would make someone a wonderful Christmas gift! Please note the leathers shown on the saddle will be replaced with new HDR leathers (see last photos).
FITTINGS INCLUDED: Saddle includes stirrup leathers and irons,
saddle cover,
and a beautiful quilted burgundy red square pad with silver and white braid and rope trim. I am including a new pair of HDR nylon lined leather stirrup leathers (see last photos) to replace the ones shown in the photos on the saddle. The stirrup irons
show signs of use but are in good condition.
The HDR Advantage is designed for the rider who is seeking a moderately priced, comfortable and secure saddle for jumping, low level eventing, or just pleasure/trail riding. It has a slightly deeper seat and forward padded flaps with knee rolls which give excellent rider support and stability. This is a beautiful, traditional saddle that offers a classic look suitable for the show ring.
