Full details

A potential caveat is that it's a fixed set that includes a matching headstall and breast collar, which may not suit all rider preferences for custom tack matching.

Troubleshooting

Saddle doesn't fit horse properly

Verify the 7.5" (19.1 cm) gullet size is appropriate for your horse's wither. If not, this saddle may not be suitable. Ensure cinch is correctly positioned and tightened.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to both genuine and artificial leather parts. Ensure the product is safe for both material types. Reapply as needed based on environmental conditions.

Stirrups feel uncomfortable or unstable

Adjust the stirrup length to your preferred riding position. Ensure stirrup leathers are securely attached and not showing signs of wear.

Floral embossing shows wear

Clean the embossed areas gently and consider applying a specialized leather protector or conditioner that can help maintain the detail without altering the appearance.
