I hated seeing it go to waste in her basement and her husband hasn’t rode in years so he told me to take it and sell it for them if it was worth anything, or to keep it if it wasn’t worth much. I’m sure like many old saddles it could use a reflocking, but otherwise, the quality is top notch and it’s so secure. Her husband used it for fox hunting on his old draft cross in the 80s and 90s.Īnyway, it’s a cool and “manly” saddle. It was purchased used in the early 1980s so it’s probably 40ish years old and is a 19" seat. From what I’ve found online, “Krefeld” isn’t a model - just a location, so I’m not sure exactly what model it is. It’s stamped on both side “Joh’s Stubben Krefeld” and is extremely nicely made. A friend of mine had her husband’s old Joh’s Stubben Krefeld living in her basement and it just seemed like it was going to waste so I grabbed it up and told her I’d see if there was anything I could do with it.
