Portuguese translation of saddle description... help!

[Edinborough]

I am looking at this saddle and the google translation is going slow, slow slow.

http://casadocavalo.com.br/loja/selas/trabalho-no-campo/arreio-cutuco-luxo-cabeca-mineira/

Can someone familiar with the language give me a translation? The dollar translation was easy but the wording leaves a lot to be desired.

Basically, I’m wondering what I get with the purchase as the photograph shows the girth, stirrups and bridle as well as the saddle.

Page Guilherme, he has Marchadore horses

[Bluey]

It seems to say, below how it is made, under accessories included, all is listed there, other than the saddle you see in the picture.
The bridle is hanging on the back, doesn’t show a bit there, but cinches and so on.

I would ask them directly.
Most those sellers do speak English, they should repeat that same again.

Maybe PM Guilherme, he may know.
He may also know if that is a legitimate seller?

[Edinborough]

Thank you Alagirl and Bluey. I am totally floored. Guilherme is a he? I did not know that.

I have met some people who have purchased from this seller and were very happy with the purchase. However, all opinions are appreciated. Thanks for the replies.

Thank you everyone! Your translation was helpful I was trying to go word for word but ended up getting confused.

However, the automotive foam has me concerned as I know if gets stiff over time.

I guess I’ll be proceeding caustiously.

Bluey, thank you for the link. I will message him.

I’m a “he” but a very old one!!!

I do not speak Portuguese but I’ve got a pretty good dictionary and Google.

This is a mule or donkey saddle and they claim it is of good quality. The name must be a colloquialism because it’s called a “luxurious miner’s head” (and they are using the feminine of “miner” and I have no idea what that might mean).

There are also lots of specialized saddle and tack terms. I’m guessing at most of them but when I compare the terms to the picture I think I’ve got most of them.

The saddle comes with these:

01 PR LORO 38MM BUFALO Soleta TANNIN My guess is “stirrup leathers” made of bufalo hide."
01 PR FOOTPLATE STAINLESS STEEL Probably stirrups.
01 CJ girths and cinch WOOL WITH RING STAINLESS STEEL Clear.
01 CJ AGAINST whip BUCKLES WITH HEART FORMAT STAINLESS STEEL I don’t know.
01 PR whip Soleta BUFALO TANNIN Pair of “latigos” as might be used on a Western saddle?
01 PC HALTER Soleta BUFALO ARGOLADA Probably a headstall.
01 PC WOOL SPECIAL NETWORK Translates to “wool web” and that might be the red and white “lead line” at the back.

Comparing the picture to the translation says you’re getting whatever you see in the photo.

We bought a saddle when we visited Brazil. It was a lovely item that was made for MM horses and didn’t fit a one of ours. That’s because the tree was designed for Brazilian horses that don’t reach the same size as American horses. Sold it to an lady with a nice, petite Arabian who loved it! That’s just a word of caution.

Brazil produces a lot of good quality leather work. That’s not a surprise given the large scope of their cattle industry.

Hope I was able to help you out!

Yes, that was great, thanks so much for all the information. That is a concern that the saddles could run small…

Is that saddle for a horse, or mule or donkey?

It seems to be for other than horses?

You may want to determine that first.

It is advertised as a mule or donkey saddle.

Yes, I am looking for a mule saddle.

My first source says this looks legit. to her. She said there are other companies that sell this sort of thing. She has no comments of substance one way or the other.

I’ll post again when my second source responds.
