Purchased in August 2015 from the shop next to the viewing stand at Shadai Stallion Station. This is not a casual item made as a recentふるさと納税 (hometown tax) return gift. It uses genuine cowhide leather, and the conchos and clasps are sturdy Tide Way products. It was an expensive purchase, but I was determined to buy it, so I was very satisfied. At the time of purchase, I received a stallion book for that year and a hair from a stallion shared by Shadai SS as a gift at the register. I had a choice of two horses for the hair, but I loved the horse very much, and it also meant I had come to visit his grave, so I didn't hesitate in my choice. Since then, I have kept the stallion's hair (probably from his tail) in the inner pocket of the bag as a charm (images 9 and 11). I will refrain from mentioning the stallion's name in the product description, as it may lead to various speculations, but I will inform the buyer via a transaction message. The item is in beautiful condition, I think. I've managed to keep it from losing its shape. I will ship it flat-packed as shown in image 20. I have been performing regular maintenance, so there is no mold, and the lining is clean. ◎Final maintenance: December 8, 2025 (Leather cream applied, verification of green rust removal from brass fittings) The clasps and conchos are also in good condition. The race number is sewn on with felt, so felt fibers will stick to the black background of the race number. Please understand. There is a mark (rubbing) on the bottom to the right edge of the gusset in image 8, but it has only been used twice (two days), so I think it rubbed against another bag during storage. Please confirm. Please check the size and fit in the images. I am listing it as a men's item, but I hope that horse-loving women will also consider it. I hope that those who appreciate authenticity will use it for a long time. Thank you very much. m(__)m *Inspection is based on my personal opinion.
