Steele Saddles, excellent saddles. That’s where I bought mine. After owning Circle Y saddles, it will be the last saddle I ever purchase. I ride a 1/2 Arab, stocky, short back – fits him perfectly. They have a demo program. Kellie
In response to her friend asking: I’m looking for some saddles to purchase for my short backed Arabians, must be round skirted western / pleasure / trail / endurance saddle. I would really like an Arab tree because I know that fits one of the horses already, at least Circle Y saddles, and the seat needs to be between 15 and 16 inches. And does anyone know of any saddle shops? I only know of Horse and Rider in Mckinney. Crystal
The saddle that best suits her needs is our New Endurance Trail Saddle which features our lightweight cedar tree weighing in at about 17 pounds. SEE LINK
When I talked to Eric about purchasing a Steele Saddle, he told me that it has helped riders with back pain?? It was hard for me to believe this statement and I was in disbelief. Since riding in my new Steele Saddle Classic for just one week, I have lost about 50% of my pain in my back. I can tie my shoes in the morning, walk straighter, and I am well balance in the saddle. Plus my horse just gets better each time that I ride him. It was so hard to fit a saddle for him, that I was getting discouraged. If you do have any doubt in purchasing a Steele Saddle, I truly believe in their demo program.
It was well worth it and Eric will treat you right. This decision that I chose for my horse and myself was “Priceless”. And if it does come down to the money that “Steele” charges for their saddles: well:: it was the proper fit for the horse, rider, and I can ride again, and I felt like they built this saddle for just me.. PRICELESS!!
Love you two Eric and Fred (Thank you Tammy)
I just got our final revision. I rigged it and did a little round pen work to see how it fit and rode. So the following day we went for a 14 mile trail ride to really test the trail saddle out. All went well and my Paso, Calypso, didn’t complain once. And secondly, my butt and knees thank you.
I thank you for your patience during the ordeal, but we prevailed. I have gone through several “Paso saddles” which my short flat backed Paso wouldn’t tolerate for long. I now have a keeper. And it looks outstanding. You are a pleasure to work with. – Thank you, Russell Wall
Late last summer you worked with me on making a new trail saddle for my Tennessee Walker. I love the saddle! It’s a perfect fit for him and for me. I also purchased your new saddle pad. Heather Loss
Just got finished putting the final touches on a saddle I have been working on…..I was able to repurchase the first Steele Plantation saddle I ever bought….it had been out of use for awhile so the leather was barn dirty and dry and all the brass hardware had tarnished….but elbow grease….saddle soap….black rock…tarnx and a drill ……plus all afternoon and evening it’s looking good again….love my Steele Plantation trail saddle.
