Look no farther than the Circle Y Wrangler Flex2 Trail Saddle for a genuinely heavy-duty trail saddle that can withstand all the damage you can dish out and then some. The whole seat area is smooth, firm leather, although any discomfort may be alleviated with a simple aftermarket cushion. The 5″ high cantle offers enough back support and is ideal for anchoring cantle bags loaded with stuff. In terms of gear, the 6 rings with lengthy leathers and the strong horn give plenty of connection places. Attachment rings for a breast collar, back cinch, and crupper are also included.

Maintain your comfort and coolness when hiking for kilometers on end with this Dakota endurance saddle. This saddle is made with a fiberglass-coated tree that is very sturdy and will last for as long as you want to ride it. Only 30 pounds will give your horse plenty of additional energy throughout the long summer days. Beautiful brown leather with barbed wire tooling on the sides. It features a cantle that is about 5 inches in height. The swell breadth is around 13″. It is available in diameters ranging from 15 to 17 inches.

My husband bought a Dakota ranch saddle that was of excellent quality and comfortable. [...]

This saddle has a one-of-a-kind appearance and feels thanks to its antique finish and black inlay. Hand-carved flower and basket weave tooling in the leather give this saddle a bright yet classic look. The black suede seat has been well-padded and embellished with elegant patchwork stitching to ensure optimum comfort. The lovely silver conchos on the saddle are embellished with several knots for accessories such as saddlebags. The fleece padding on the bottom provides your horse’s comfort during the voyage. Equip your horse with a headstall, reins, and breast collar that match. 

Excellent value. Great quality leather. Comfortable seat. Breast colar, bridle and reins included. All for a third of the cost of buying locally. What more could you ask for. I WILL be buying another one in a different size. I am very impressed with this saddle.

The Mustang Soft Ride Saddle keeps you steady whether you’re riding through a wooded route or around a field. It’s for both the horse and rider. With a soft shock-absorbing bareback cushion and the extra comfort of a seat that fits your body! When you ride in a lightweight saddle, you may adapt it to many different kinds of horses and humans. The closed-cell foam enables you and your horse to be close while avoiding uncomfortable pressure points. The seat is about 16″ to 17″ long. The grasp handle may be adjusted, and the stir-up can be removed.

Lightweight, sturdy, comfortable. Horse actually comes to me instead of running from it. 😂 For people that like bareback but with a little more support, this saddle is great.

If you’re looking for a great, lightweight trail or show saddle, these Cordura synthetic saddles are perfect! Silver conchos, cushioned seats, and a one-of-a-kind design set these saddles apart from the crowd. The saddle is bonded with nylon, which guarantees that it is tear-resistant and easy to clean. Seat cushioning is comfortable, and the Blevins buckles are adjustable. The tree is constructed of double-reinforced fiberglass, while the underbelly is composed of soft synthetic fleece. Colors are available from Blue, Red, Pink, Black, Brown, Green, Purple.

Fantastic saddle for the price! Im a new horse owner and my Quarter horse is on the small side, so the bridle was a little big for her, definitely gonna have to punch some holes in it to fit her head (the bit sits too far forward in her mouth, she kept trying to spit it out). [...]
