Have you thought about advertising it on Ebay?  I sold a lovely Sabre show saddle on there, and who bought it? None other than Lynn Russell  :D

You also need to give the saddle size aswell as the width - I have an 18" XW Farrington which fits my old Highland and I had another which I sold with the pony it belonged to.  They're fab saddles for Highlands and I've never had a more comfortable one at a very reasonable brand new price - think I paid £500 for mine at the time including fitting and never regretted it..  that was at least 10 years ago mind ;)
