This Bob Avila B17-120M show saddle built by AM Superior Saddlery is one of the most visually striking pieces in David Solum's current inventory. What sets it apart from other Bob Avila builds is the silver package — massive engraved sterling silver skirt overlays with silver ball trim running the full perimeter of both front and rear skirts, plus matching conchos and the signature Bob Avila branded stirrup housings. The result is a saddle that commands the show pen from 100 feet away.
The underlying leatherwork is equally impressive — deep dark-oil full floral tooling covers the skirts, jockeys, fenders, and swell in a rich chocolate tone that contrasts beautifully against the bright silver overlays. The 16" dark chocolate smooth leather seat with 16½" fenders puts the rider in an ideal position for reining and cow horse competition. The AM Superior Saddlery stamp in the gullet confirms the build quality.
Priced at $5,995 plus shipping — a compelling value for a Bob Avila signature saddle with this level of silver work. Contact David Solum for a shipping quote to your location.
