Hand made by Merv Roberts of Auckland. Full quarter horse tree. Quality leather and strong construction Excellent condition Very comfortable to ride in all day, day after day e.g. Otago Cavalcade Stable on the horse's back which is great for riding on steeper country and getting on and off without the saddle slipping. I had extra 'Ds' added so saddle bags or a swag can be carried behind the saddle NB: the clip holding the two cinches together is broken but easy to replace. I have temporarily tied together with a bit of string.
