21" Elan Side Saddle for Sale

FINALLY! I found an "Old Name" saddle that fits me and the SRF! It is a Mayhew Lissadell with the outside girthing system in a 23.5" seat! WOO HOO!

To help fund this purchase I am offering my Elan for sale, here is a description...

I have for sale a 21" seat Elan side saddle in Havana brown with a tan suede seat. It is on the TB Wide tree and has about a 6.5 inch gullet. It is in excellent condition and has no major marks or tears on it. There are some scuffs on the leather lining of the flocking, but they are not visible when the saddle is on the horse. I have shown in it a couple of times and done some trail riding and jumping. I removed the overgirth but still have it if the buyer wishes to have their saddler reattach it. It simply had the stitching removed and was not cut or damaged in any way. It comes less stirrup and balance strap but I will include a 46" trifold leather girth which I paid $85 for and has only been used about 3 times. I am asking $650 for the saddle and girth plus shipping to your address.

Classy

I am glad the horse's identity is hidden by the camera, how embarrassing. I like leopard print, don't get me wrong, I rather like the seat on this one done in this print, it reminds me of some ofthe medieval middle eastern saddles, good for the SCA, the whole thing done in leopard print, and perched on a Confederate flag saddle pad is just hideous. Thanks to Michelle for pointing this one out. Wonder if it too hails from Craptackistan?

Jungle Fever -

Apparently what these saddle makers suffer from.

Shockingly Pink

Another lovely *cough* piece from the intrepid saddle makers in Craptackistan. This one hurts to look at, the searing pink flowers just kind of burn the retinas.

Craptackistan

[krap-tak-uh-stahn] (noun) a subcontinent in South Asia well known for producing low quality, unattractive, ill fitting, and often structurally unsound horse equipment.

Thank you cattypex for coining this term!

Rainbow Brite

Endurance saddle, made in India (surprise!) and available in a nauseating array of colors. Some are tolerable, some are, well, painful to look at. Click to embiggen.

Return of the camo...

Been awhile since I have seen anything new on the camo front. This one is very, um, stylized in pattern. RealTree it ain't.
