Product description
This western saddle is constructed from American full-grain cowhide leather and finished by hand in an antique brown tone. The skirt and fenders display an engraved, hand-tooled and carved motif with turquoise inlays for decorative contrast. The seat is brown rough-out for improved grip.
At the heart of the saddle is a proprietary, heavy-duty flex tree designed to allow some lateral movement while still supporting the rider. The tree is intended to fit horses with a gullet measurement between 6 and 8 inches. Dimension notes: the skirt measures approximately 26 inches and the cantle rises about 5 inches, providing a deeper, more secure seat. The saddle weighs roughly 25 lbs.
Hardware and extras include anti-slip stirrups and adjustable stirrup length to suit different riders, plus matching front and rear cinch straps included with the saddle. These features make it suitable for trail rides, pleasure sessions and endurance use where long hours and varied terrain demand comfort and stability.
Craftsmanship emphasizes durability and rider support: reinforced stitching, solid leather panels and a design that aims to distribute pressure evenly across the horse’s back. The saddle’s lighter flex-tree construction improves agility and responsiveness for the horse without sacrificing rider balance.
Customer care: returns are accepted in accordance with the seller’s published return policy. Regular leather conditioning and routine checks of billets, straps and stitching will extend the life and appearance of the saddle.
