First, here's the official specs on the saddle: ""Crafted from the finest, hand-selected hides, hand-tooled to perfection in the Entz pattern and complemented by hand-engraved 92.5% sterling silver plate trim. Beautifully engraved trim in a classic scroll pattern with raised diamonds with inlaid clear crystals. Built on Billy Royal's own custom-made wooden trees that have been modified to fit today's modern conformations, from Arabians to Quarter Horses. Upgraded features include pre-turned Flex Fenders, lined skirts and fenders, attached stirrup hobbles and the Easy Change fender adjustment. Close contact cut-out under fender for unparalleled feel. Hand-padded seat is balanced nicely to keep riders in the proper position. Full silver pommel and horn, wrapped cantle, leather tie strap and off billet, 6.5"" gullet, skirt, 29.5"", weight is 36 pounds.

OK. This saddle is close to brand new. I myself bought it from a lady who showed a handful of times and it looks new, with the exception of a couple of scrapes on the pommel and some wear around the outer edges of the horn (see picture). All the crystals are present and tight all over the saddle, as with the trim. LOVE the stirrup adjustment system on this. It's comfortable and fits my horse, but I find with my back fusions that this saddle is, quite frankly, just too heavy for me to tote around and throw up on my horse. :( Shame, because it's definitely an attention-getter and a statement-maker. I have the Billy Royal saddle bag for it, that saddle bag has a tear on the outside about 2 inches long that I suspect I accidentally made when unboxing the saddle when I got it.

All the flash and glitz you could ever want in a saddle that's in essentially new condition. Kept in my smoke-free, pet free house.
