This lovely Monarch dressage saddle by GFS is for sale with saddle cover and 5 gullet plates included. I had initially purchased it for my wide girl who likes a lot of wither clearance, but the panels unfortunately just don't suit her body shape, so it's time for someone else to enjoy it. The saddle is a high-wither model, best suited for wider horses who like a lot of wither clearance. It was purchased as a demo model from The Saddle Bank UK, which is known for copiously-flocking their saddles. The seat is very cushy and comfortable, and despite it being a moderately-deep seat, I've found that I don't feel "boxed in" when I'm riding in it. The current position of the knee block helps my leg snap into position and I've not had an issue with my leg moving too far forward when riding in this saddle (for reference, I'm 5'2" with a 30" inseam). The saddle has the benefit of custom placement of the knee blocks thanks to the magic of Velcro. The Y-configuration and length of the billets has been beneficial in fitting a variety of horses. This saddle is a dual flap, but despite this, I feel that I can easily keep my leg on the horse. This saddle comes with 5 gullet plates (one of which is currently installed in the saddle) - after talking with GFS, their gullet plates come in half-sizes, meaning that the saddle will be able to fit anything from a medium to a wide with the installation of the correct plate. This saddle comes with an XXW gullet plate already installed, as well as an XW, W, MW, and M gullet plate, extra screws, saddle cover, and hex wrench. There is wear on the flaps and cantle of the saddle that is consistent with normal, everyday use that doesn't interfere with the function of the saddle, and the leather remains buttery-soft. When not in use, this saddle has been kept inside a climate-controlled tack room with the dust cover on. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will be happy to answer! This saddle is also listed on eBay.
