I have a Saddlebred with high withers and a bony back...but very big tummy...lol...I cannot ride him bareback for long...and all saddles seem to not fit him...I decided to try a treeless. Just rode him in it a few minutes ago...wow...super comfortable....[...]

Absolutely beautiful, love the saddle! The horn is a bit large but doesn’t effect it at all. Haven’t had the chance to ride in it quite yet but it certainly looks comfortable. I got the 14 inch seat in antique oil

This classic all-purpose saddle lets riders try a variety of English disciplines without breaking the bank. With hidden knee rolls, cushioned flaps, and a medium-deep padded seat, the rider may establish a secure and balanced seat. This saddle is ideal for riders working on equitation, and the horse will appreciate the cushioned panels. The saddle’s high cantle and longer flaps make it ideal for flatwork, but it also has a lower pommel and slightly forward flaps for jumpers. While hacking on the trail, many D-Rings are ideal for attaching saddle bags and straps.

The best saddle ever with the best stirrups that hold my weight! The leather is the best quality ever and the color is fab looking! It is very comfy to sit in. I recommend it for jumpers! :)

It also features handy rings weaved into each string pair to secure trail objects. 5″ broad stirrups are supplied. The weight is around 24 1/2 lbs. The height of the gullet is 7 1/2″, and the width is 6 1/2″. The cantle is 4″ tall, and the horn cap is 2 1/4″ wide.

I really liked the versatility of this Cashel saddle and the fact that it is made by Martin Saddles with the Axis tree. I love that it is very light weight at only 24 lbs. That is great for a western saddle. It's design is smart and practical. Love this saddle!
