Black Forest Ponderosa Town & Country $749The Ponderosa Town & Country is the newest member of the Black Forest family and is hands down the most innovative treeless saddle on the market. The pommel is interchangeable, allowing the saddle to become western or endurance/english by just changing from the horned western fork to the non-horned standard pommel! 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). Add'l inserts are available for $50.
