Sidesaddles for Sale

Well, I have officially retired out my last sidesaddle horse. And, after a year of schooling under sidesaddle, I have to finally admit that my sport horse isn't going to take to sidesaddle like I had hoped. So...I have two sidesaddles for sale.

Steele English Pleasure. Brown leather. 20 inch seat. Medium tree. Suede seat. Has been used for schooling and showing, but still in excellent condition. Asking $1750.

Lillian Chaudhary Western. Fully restored on a late 1890's tree and tooled to match the original saddle. Balance strap added for safety and stability. Brown leather. 17-18 inch seat. Medium tree. Suede seat with detailed stitching. In excellent condition. Asking $1000.

Both saddles can be viewed/test ridden at US Nationals with prior arrangement.

Oh my gosh...I'm so in love with the Lillian saddle *sigh*!

The Lillian Chaudhary is still available.

The Steele did find itself a new home at Nationals. And was actually ridden by its new owner to a Reserve Champion.

I couldn't justify the purchase right now...the city I work for cut our pay with furloughs But wow, that would give me a reason to learn to ride sidesaddle...I do Living History and mid 1880s reenactment and would love to have my seamstress create a riding habit!

Can you measure the seat from the front of the upright horn to the back of the seat so that I can see if it will fit my leg?

Thank you!

It was sold to me as a 17 inch. It measures closer to 18 inches. I'm 5 ft tall and prefer to ride a 19 inch sidesaddle...but could sit this saddle with no issues.

Bummer ~ I am 5' 8" and need a 20-21. One of the side effects of being tall. Thanks for getting back with me.
