17" Encore Flapless Dressage Saddle #8423: Black Patent Cantle insert with Crystals

$3,950.00 $5,930.00

This 17” Encore dressage saddle is in very good used condition, with lots of life left. Upgrades include: A “Ruth” Twist which is slightly higher and narrower than our standard Encore seat, a custom cantle insert featuring a small insert of black patent, with 6mm clear crystals above, and silver welt above that.and our 4-position adjustable stirrup bar. The center billet has been removed, but replacement billets can be purchased and attached. There is some mild fading of the leather on the thigh blocks and the back of the skirts (see photos for closeups of these areas). The installed thigh block is our popular “Short Zen” block, and it is mounted at an angle that many riders will find comfortable and supportive.

This saddle has 13.5” points, and 95/122 angles. This is a size and shape that will fit horses who are average or slightly wider. We require recent tracings of your horse’s back to verify the tree fit before shipping the saddle to you. Saddle trees can often be adjusted to custom-fit if your horse’s shape is close that that of the tree in this saddle.

You may add stirrup leathers, girth, or any other accessory you’d like to purchase; girths, leathers, and some other items are available to test and return if you’re not delighted. Any accessories purchased with a saddle will be discounted by 10%.

If you purchase this saddle, it will ship with all the items listed above. You have a 30-day right of return privilege; returns shipped back to us on or before the 14th day after your receipt of the saddle will receive a 100% refund (less any items damaged, dirty, or missing), which gives you a risk-free two week test ride, just like with all EQ saddles. After the 14th day, you will receive a refund less $150/week beyond two weeks and up to the 30th day after purchase.

Shipping charges will be added at check out.

Details:

  • When you purchase this saddle in our store, the shipment will be held until you have provided current tracings of your horse, so that the tree can be properly sized. We recommend taking and sending the tracings in advance of your purchase, if possible.

  • The saddle will be held for no more than 7 days to confirm tree sizing; if your tracings are not received during that timeframe, the saddle will either be shipped to you without custom sizing, or it will be returned to stock, and your payment, less a $35 processing fee, will be refunded.

  • Once your tracings have been received, the saddle will be sized and assembled in a customized fitting for your horse. If our workshop experts determine that the tree does not suit your horse, the sale will be cancelled, and 100% of your payment will be refunded.

  • If the saddle tree has been verified for your horse, we will ship the saddle to you, and schedule a 30-minute remote/video fitting assessment session with you to verify the fit and settings.

  • After your fit has been checked by us, you will start riding in the saddle, and verifying that it meets your needs and fits your horse.

  • At any point in the first 14 days, you may return the saddle for a 100% refund, no questions asked.

  • After the 14th day, and until the 30th day, you may return the saddle for a full refund less $150/week which will be assessed as a use fee.

  • After the 30th day, the saddle is not returnable.

  • As a used/demo saddle, this saddle is sold “as is”, though there is a one-year warranty on the tree, starting with your date of purchase.
