For sale, Kensington/Kent and Masters dressage saddle. It's older but pretty much never used. Round cantle, suede knee pads (very well padded) with large knee blocks, and point billet system. Wool flocked, medium wide/wide tree and a nice wide channel. In excellent condition! I also have a photo of the channel, but there's a three picture limit! Would love to get $300 plus shipping. Would possibly consider trading for a 17-18in Close Contact saddle in good working condition (think lesson program). Would prefer knee pads. Can be dinged up a bit, no color preference, but would prefer non-synthetic. AT LEAST a medium tree, but wide would be ideal. Located in Concord, North Carolina. Trial ok as long as buyer pays shipping both ways.

The saddle is a supportive structure for a rider or other load, fastened to an animal's back by a girth. The most common type is the equestrian saddle designed for a horse, but specialized saddles have been created for camels and other creatures.[1][2] It is not known precisely when riders first began to use some sort of padding or protection, but a blanket attached by some form of surcingle or girth was probably the first "saddle," followed later by more elaborate padded designs. The solid tree was a later invention, and though early stirrup designs predated the invention of the solid tree, the paired stirrup, which attached to the tree, was the last element of the saddle to reach the basic form that is still used today. Today, modern saddles come in a wide variety of styles, each designed for a specific equestrianism discipline, and require careful fit to both the rider and the horse. Proper saddle care can extend the useful life of a saddle, often for decades.
