looks like a piece of junk and looks like it needs to be competely reflocked. try www.saddlesource.com They have hundreds of saddles new and used at reasonable prices. All are pictured online and you can send a wither tracing to them and they can try and find a saddle that will be close to help fit your horse.

Lovely looking saddle but the tree could be broke in it never ever buy a saddle without checking the tree and never buy one frm ebay as its an old second hand saddle you never know wat wear and tear is there go to ur local reputible tack shop and purchase one there by the way wen checking if the tree is ok put the candle of the saddle against ur tummy and pull from the front it shouldnt bend and it shudnt make a creeking noise also never buy second hand stud girths or epasticated girths as the elastic mite be gone goood luck =]

I don't have any experience with that brand but that specific saddle is the old fashioned type. If may be OK for schooling and trail riding at that price. But for show, you'll need something more modern with padded flaps. Also, the panel looks flattened...may need to be reflocked.

Short of no one likes or wants plain flaps/legitimate close contacts anymore, the panels are super flat (so a] it's not going to fit many horses b] it's going to cause sore backs on the horses it does fit), and it's Argentinian made.
