This Hope Saddle is similar to the one that Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston was riding at Seven Pines.
Hope saddles were popular from the 1850s through the 1890s and recommended for use in the Confederacy during the last half of the War. Many Southerners rode to battle on Hope saddles that they brought from home. These saddles were also popular in the North. General Hugh Kilpatrick used one.
On our saddle we have used heavy harness leather throughout from the half seat to the full underskirts, fenders, and hooded stirrups. It also has border stamping, steel ringing rings, and decorative rigging. Brass tacks are used to secure the seat.
A web girth is included so you're all set to ride.
