1835 STYLE SIDE SADDLE FOR SALE IN BELFAST

Rare and collectible dated to 1835. No name. This saddle has two and a half pommels. Size measured from cantle to front of fixed head, 21” (53cm), width of seat at widest point, 15” (38 cm). I had the complete underneath refurbished but left the top original, therefore there is an area that needs restitching and a tear in the seat that has always been there, I ride with a sheepskin cover. There is also a small scuffed area on the leaping head. Very comfortable to ride in. Fully fitted. No safety stirrup bar so it is used with a break-away side saddle stirrup. Lots of history with this saddle which can be traced back to the Mills circus family. Fits wide horses. Has been used on a Percheron.
