Rodrigo Pessoa's favorite!
17" Pessoa close contact saddle with Medium tree that fits both my Oldenburg and Thoroughbred. It is in good condition without any stains or tears. There is only normal wear on flaps from stirrup leathers. There is a slight scrape on the back of the saddle below the cantle. It comes with leathers and irons. The air-cushioned seat is covered with special hides, selected for their unique grip quality. Price is firm. Paid $2,000. Shipping is $65. I can accept cash, a personal check, cashier's check, or paypal. With checks, I would need time for them to clear. With Paypal, I would have to charge $25 extra to cover the fees they charge me. I also would need for the address to be confirmed through paypal, and I would have it delivered with a signature. I have 100% feedback on ebay (username: Guitargrrl0).

The saddle was quite minimal without knee rolls and a narrower seat and with changes to the tree that provided me with extremely close contact. I like an extremely close contact saddle with the narrowest twist and seat. I created the close contact because I wanted something with even more contact and a more-advanced level of finesse, grace and control. The close contact is technologically advanced but of simple design. It optimizes the horse’s performance by minimizing the stress that an average saddle imposes. This saddle is made from Sedgwick’s finest leathers, and it is built for professional use. While the leather does not have that instant soft and mushy feeling found on some saddles, there is a reason for this -- durability. The most important aspect for me is that the leather will stand up to the use a professional gives it. All Pessoa saddles are comfortable to ride in from Day One, but you will find that it becomes butter soft -- without losing its ultra-durability and good long-life.�
