Used MaxFlex Fado 18" All-Purpose Saddle

This used MaxFlex Fado all-purpose saddle is in good condition. It features a dual-flap design, knee rolls on Velcro under padded flaps, fixed calf blocks, two long V billets, flocked panels, and a quilted seat. Calfskin leather. Made in 2020.

The tree measures as what we consider to be approximately a size Wide.

Per the manufacturer:

A really great, versatile Working Equitation saddle for every-day-use in cross country and indoor!

The Fado combines an extremely comfortable seat with a classic dressage saddle flap. The knee rolls at the front can be adjusted to suit the individual needs of the rider's leg. The side panels create an enlarged contact surface and lie perfectly on the horse.

At the heart of every Maxflex saddle lies our proven flexible tree, developed and perfected over the past 17 years. This innovative design combines adaptability, durability, and support, ensuring comfort for both horse and rider.

Crafted from a special polyurethane, our tree offers just the right degree of controlled flexibility, allowing it to adapt to both straight and curved backs, providing an excellent fit for a wide range of horses.

Each tree is reinforced with steel springs, allowing it to absorb and evenly distribute the rider’s weight, reducing pressure points and enhancing performance, comfort, and long-term soundness.
