Black Forest Ponderosa Town & Country $749

The Ponderosa Town & Country is the newest member of the Black Forest family and is hands down the most innovative treeless saddle on the market.

Made of luxuriously soft calf leather, with brushed leather seat seat for a little grip to the rider's pants. The Ponderosa Town & Country is available with western or english rigging. Special features include a leather cover over the pommel to hide the zipper. Town & Country is available in mocha brown or black, and comes with one insert (your choice of horned or non-horned).
