It has been sitting in my tack room since then, due to circumstances beyond my control. It's been there long enough! This is the saddle of my dreams, and it should go to someone who will love it on their horse and be used.You should go to Bob's website and look at their models to compare what I am offering. (http://www.bobscustomsaddles.com/item.asp?iid=18). Everyone who shows their horses knows that Bob's is the "Cadillac" of the saddle world.  Each one is hand-made from start to finish.  If you check the pictures, you'll see the serial number, B00-709M, and the saddle's unique number in the series, 741.  This is the real deal.  I wouldn't settle for less!The hardware on the saddle is stainless steel, chosen for its durability and longevity. Each saddle is hand-made, hand-stamped, and real sheepskin lined. The saddle and bridle come with their own custom bags. Not quite sure what the "seat" is, but I took enough pictures for you to get an idea of whether it would suit you.There are 30 different pieces of hand-tooled sterling silver inlay on this saddle including 2" stirrups, something you don't often see with custom saddles (Bob's has only one listed with stirrups).The ONLY thing "used" in this listing is the bit on the bridle.  When I had the bridle made in 2001, it cost $800.00. I can only image what it would go for now.The leather tooling on this saddle is called "Wild Rose" by Bob's, and you can see it all over the saddle.  Ain't it beauteous? This is a great deal and would make an incredible Christmas present for the Western rider in your life! Place a Bid!
