Which model is it? Anyone know? Also approximately how old? It's my new saddle. Apparently it's marked medium tree, 17 inch seat. I bought it off the following photos and haven't seen it yet [it's in the mail, should arrive sometime in the next few days].

They got back to meeee!! My saddle is a 1995 baby, meaning it's 17 years old turning 18 [same age as my horse haha]. Going on Speed's experience that means I could have it for 30+ years if I look after it! Maybe even 40 or 50. That seems like such a long time to me. I'm only 18!

Whoot! Good to know, BEP. It's still a youngster then, comparatively. :wink:

You could theoretically have that saddle another 50 years, then sell it on to someone who will own and ride in it another 50 years.

Older Stubbens and cockroaches are going to be the only things left after Armageddon! :rofl:

lol yes, that's why I call it a baby :P

Of course after it's 118 years old it may only be good as a home/breaker/trail saddle, but I can't see why it couldn't be a functional strong and safe saddle and an antique at the same time!

I reckon. Never seen a Stubben that couldn't be ridden in. Some of them were a bit ugly [especially the neglected ones] but all of them were safe.
