Especially for the price, $289. Workmanship is excellent.It's suppose to be "wash and wear" easily cleaned and won't hurt it if it gets wet.<br /><br />Saddled Bo and it appears to fit well with a saddle blanket.I didn't get on to test my part of it yet, but I was more concerned about how it sits, fits when cinched up on him. It weighs 17lbs and is so much easier to throw over my big boy! I think he'll appreciate the lightness too. This one is a keeper!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224646742863478548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421555299908265706.post-61629485394680510202011-02-16T12:20:56.842-05:002011-02-16T12:20:56.842-05:00A new saddle, now that's exciting. I know wha...A new saddle, now that's exciting. I know what you mean about ordering it sight-unseen though--scary! You'll have to let us know how it works out when it arrives. I've always wondered about synthetics, so that was interesting to read they held up against the leather. It sure would be nice to have a lighter saddle. I know my days are numbered with my big-boy--I've never weighed it, but it must be about 65 pounds--that's my husband's guess anyway. It's so heavy, I can only swing it up.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.com
