A trail saddle that is both lightweight and durable, allowing you to ride comfortably for extended periods of time on the trail. This piece is fashioned from chocolate leather by Hermann Oak. The seat is double-padded and very soft in order to provide the rider with the best possible comfort. It consists of a fiberglass seat with a hardwood tree that provides for total and even contacts with the back of your horse. In order to keep the trail’s goods safe, handy rings are woven into each pair of stringed strings. The component is about 24 1/2 pounds in weight. The gullet height is about 7 1/2″, and its widths are as follows: Regular- 6 1/2″, and Wide- 7″ gullet widths.

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!
