ooohh, the suspence is killing me !!!
Hey, cactuslady, do you have access to that tack store? do they still have the new ones??? just wondering
Are you talking about the Pessoa saddles? They all have Pessoa written on them. There used to be a different “signature” between the Nelson Pessoa saddles and the Rodrigo Pessoas, but now they all carry the same signature.
If this is what you are talking about, I would recommend trying to find a used one in good condition. The Pessoa saddles are now being made in Argentina and despite the fact that all the retailers say they are exactly the same leather, I have ridden in both and can tell a difference in the leather. I have an England Pessoa A/O but was ‘loaned’ one of the newer ones from Eiser’s while mine is being repaired. Sometimes used Pessoas come up on Ebay; check there.
If you decide to go for a new one, you can get them in any major catalog (Dover, etc.) or tack store, but Eiser’s is the main Pessoa distributor in the United States. Harry Dabbs is also now making the ‘original’ A/O if you decide to go that route.
Hope this helps!
This I found off a Yahoo search. This should get you to the real deal.

I think she means the quilted square saddle pads. They’re white with the Pessoa name embroidered in either black or gold. Sorry, but I have to chuckle. I got mine free when I bought my Pessoa AO saddle. Let’s see, the binding is torn across the withers and the thread spelling “Pessoa” is faded, and I cut off the billet straps, but if you really want it…

i would seriously take it! how much ??? i don;t care about the messes… i can deal!!!
guess what, my folks who are non horsey folks said there was NO way i was calling california for a “dumb” saddle blanket…can u guys beleive this ??? AUGH !!! 
Really, you don’t want it! I use it for long-lining and it’s not very, ah, “tidy” anymore! Maybe I should actually put some Spray 'N Wash on it next time it’s laundered? I had no idea it would be so coveted!
I got mine from Broken Horn in Baldwin Park. They’re always less expensive than El Toro tack. Their phone is: 626/337-4266.
But gosh, I don’t want you crying over this! You make me feel guilty…

OMG I am seriously embarrassed now. 
I guess I just GLAZED over the ‘pad’ part of that post. I have never seen a Pessoa pad so I guess I just jumped the gun. Oops.
MERRY> who told you i didn;t want it ??? i do !!! i’ll pay you for it, no problem… I DO WANT IT !!! I"LL TAKE IT !!!
PLEASE E_AMIL ME IF YOU GET THIS…
thanks,

Well I hate to be the one to break your heart but they were on sale at El Toro Tack and Feed at the CSI at the Oaks this weekend. And here is the kicker, Rodrigo was autographing them!! They just had the black “Pessoa” name stitched in the lower corner of the pad. I believe the were very reasonable at 27.00. My friend and I happened to be there when he was. She picked one up for a friend.
I don’t know if they have a website, but they are located in CA, anyone else know how to get in touch with them?
