About This Saddle
The NSC Elite Mono 'C' Block Dressage Saddle is a sophisticated choice for the discerning dressage rider. This 16.5" seat saddle features a monoflap design, enhancing close contact and communication with your horse. Crafted from durable buffalo leather, it offers a luxurious feel and exceptional durability. The 'C' block design provides a contoured, medium-to-large anatomical block that supports the rider's leg position, allowing for a more natural alignment and improved weight distribution.
With a condition grade of 3.5, this saddle is in good to very good condition, showing standard signs of use but remaining structurally sound and ready for performance. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, secondhand saddle with minimal wear.
Horse Suitability
This saddle is ideal for modern Warmbloods and athletic sport horses with medium-to-flat back profiles. The medium tree shape and moderate tree rock suit horses with a mild-to-moderate longitudinal curve, providing stability and comfort. The open pommel head and cut-back front panel allow for ample shoulder clearance, accommodating large scapulae without restriction. The standard panel shape and front gussets enhance fit for horses with well-muscled backs and moderate withers. However, it is not recommended for horses with excessive swaybacks or very wide, flat "table-top" backs.

Saddle Condition Guide
-
5 | Brand New: Pristine condition, often with tags still attached. Showroom quality with zero wear.
-
4 | Very good: Lightly used with minimal signs of wear (like faint stirrup leather marks). The leather is supple, the tree is sound, and it has been exceptionally well cared for.
-
3 | Good: Showing standard, normal signs of regular use. May have cosmetic scuffs, moderate stirrup leather wear, or slight discoloration, but it is entirely structurally sound and ready to ride.
-
2 | Fair: Well-loved with noticeable wear. May have deeper scratches, heavier leather fading, or minor cosmetic blemishes, but the tree and safety components are completely intact. A great budget-friendly, functional option.
-
1 | As-Is / TLC Needed: Heavy wear or significant cosmetic damage. May need minor repairs (like flocking, a new billet, or stitching) before hitting the trails. Still functional, but priced accordingly.
