Orthoflex Dressage Saddle 17" fits wide to extra wide
This is a 17" Orthoflex Dressage Saddle, serial number EUKD002 in very good condition. I think it may be a series two but do correct me if I am wrong. This is one of the early ones made by the great Len Brown before he sold the company. Features: Long billets Wool Booties, black canvas like material on the outside, quilted blue cottony material on the inside. Velcro in good shape, stray hairs here and there. Panels measure 22" long, 9.5" at the widest point (front) and 5.5" at the back. I bought this from the original owner who imported it into the UK. She had not ridden in it and I've ridden in it about a year or so. Always kept inside, cleaned and oiled regularly but do not expect new, it is a used saddle and thus shows signs of wear appropriate to use. The wool booties do show some wear, have a few loose threads here and there and one has some small stains on the inside but they have always been washed by hand using wool wash. I never let them get soaked in sweat and stinky before washing them. I did get along with this saddle and have another Orthoflex I adore in which I started my youngster, a Cob X Shire but this one is just a bit too long and slightly too narrow once she started growing outwards rather than just upwards. You know how it is, you end up with four or five saddles sitting around and you only have one horse and one backside on which to sit on them. So, no reason to hang on to this one and leave it in storage. Have questions? Want more photographs? Want to come see it? Want to ride in it? Just ask. Read more
