17.5″ Antares monoflap jump saddle

By Leslie on

Description: Antares monoflap saddle for sale. 4 years old but barely used at all in 2012. It does have some discoloration under the leathers where some black from the previous owner's boots rubbed off but it is in truly great condition with very little wear. 17.5", med tree and the numbers on the underside of the flap are: SC 3A 175L, 082070 Fittings are not included but Antares saddle cover is. Really nice condition, super soft leather that helps your leg stay still because its super "gripey"! Bought new well over $4,000, but last year the previous owners got the tree remolded to fit their new horse so it would be nearly $6000. I used it once-- fell in love with it but it didnt fit my horses back (nothing seems to fit his back correctly) i had it for about 2 weeks, and the previous owner loved it very much but she had to sell it because it no longer fits her horses back. Available for trial for 3600, buy it now for 3200.

Adjectives: Comfortable, Soft, Balanced

All The Makings for a Serious Upper Level Winner

By Leslie on

Description: Governess is a coming 11 year old Belgian Warmblood/ Selle Francais mare who is by Jamestown, a Quidam de Ravel son out of Black Diamond, a Darco mare. Zara competed through Prelim with amateur owner and competed through intermediate with a professional. She is ready to continue her upper level career with an ambitious amateur or professional. She has schooled through fourth level dressage, she has natural presence in the ring, and dressage judges love her. She would also excel in the jumper ring, as she is ready to show in the level 6’s, and she would shortly advance to the Mini-Prix’s. Zara has scope to spare and has fantastic technique. Very sweet, she is an easy horse to have in the barn, as she is absolutely not “mareish.”

Dutch Warmblood w/ Fabulous Movement and Jump! Honest!

By Leslie on

Description: Bear is a registered Dutch Warmblood, 9 yr old gelding who stands a true 17.3 hands. He has extremely clean legs and has never had an unsound day. He is in training with Hawley Bennett in California. He has completed one novice horse trials and is moving up to training for the next one. His movement is to die for! You will always be in the ribbons, if not in first place, with him. He is very honest when jumping and free jumps clear over 5 ft. He only has one horse trials under his belt, but it is clear that he is made for a long eventing career. Very puppy dog personality. Doesn't buck, rear, or take off. He runs all three phases in a loose ring snaffle. Everyone who has sat on him has commented on how big his movement is. More information and history upon request. Also, he has been driven.

Price: $30,000(will go up with training)
