Hope Saddle

This saddle, designed exclusively by Ben, is made to be as authentic as possible to General Kilpatrick's saddle (read history below).

The saddle is made from 100% genuine leather and is 100% custom-made. It features a unique style of fenders, skirts and back jockey with the pointed, elongated saddle parts and hooded stirrups. The "dove" stamping is on the original saddle, and this stamping tool was ordered specially to produce this saddle. 

The girth is unique with its wide style and leather lining on the off-side. Underside of saddle features a dense wool felt, and stirrups are adjustable. Saddle comes with girth and saddle blanket shown.

A little history about this saddle: The Hope Saddle was originally produced in Texas about 1857 and built on a Spanish tree with a horn. This particular version was styled after the Hope Saddle owned by Union Cavalry leader, General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick ~ the original one is in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. The Hope Saddle was made to the specifications of the officer's style and taste. Due to this, each was styled a little differently. It was used by many officers on both sides of the civil war conflict.
