From the demo to my Platinum trail saddle I couldn’t be happier with the quality and fit for both the horse and myself. While you were making my saddle, the demo went on a 2 week trail ride in the Carson national forest and was a huge success with several riders saving pennies and selling old saddles to get their own Rolls Royce of saddles, the Steele saddle. The demo was used on a 14.1 hand paso, a 15.1 hand paso, a 15 hand paso, and a 16 Hand foundation quarter horse. Each horse was rode between 3-10 hours during the day with this saddle. Not one sore back or rub spot. Plus I never had to use a breast strap or crupper to keep my Steele saddle in place riding through the Rocky Mtns.. All the other riders had to use both breast strap and crupper as we bushwhacked with our horses through the Carson national forest.
My Steele saddle has been used on a 14.1 hand petit Paso, a 15 hand Missouri Fox Trotter, a 15.1 Tennessee Walker and a quarter horse. This one saddle fit each horse with no signs of rubbing, back soreness or other signs of discomfort. Plus, I never once experienced knee or back soreness. Thank you for making an amazing fitting saddle that holds up to what ever the weather or human throws it’s way.
