The Evolution features a specially designed dressage tree that promotes freedom of the shoulder, flexing and lateral bend.

Condition:
New.
Showroom only demo. Has never been on a horse.
There are some minimal, faint scuffs and surface smudges from being sat in by customers and store handling (see pics). They are likely only the within the factory applied, protective leather coating* and will simply disappear with your leather care routine.

Note:
The HD camera makes some areas appear lighter than they are. This is simply the reflection off the protective wax that saddleries put on the leather to protect from harsh lighting in tack shops. This wax also known to provide nourishing properties and can simply be worked into the leather.
