Beautiful job, great saddle, and well worth the wait!

Beautiful job, great saddle, and well worth the wait!  We just got Eric’s Steele saddle on Tuesday and got to try it out that afternoon–it was 60 degrees that day–in January!!! It is a super fit for both horse and rider and we can’t wait to ride like crazy this spring and summer!

We are so blessed to have salvation in Christ, life and breath now , 2 beautiful horses and the ability to enjoy God’s creation from horseback in the comfort of a fine saddle made by Steele.  We so much appreciate your fine craftsmanship and we are so thrilled that you know and walk with Christ!

Thanks again for everything!  We will spread the word about your saddles and the Word about Jesus!

My saddle turned out great

Dear Eric and everyone at Steele Saddle that helped to make my saddle,

I received my saddle, and of course I was expecting this really great trail saddle I had pictured in my mind, but I have to tell you I didn’t even come close to how great it turned out! I think that is the greatest looking saddle I have ever seen! I am so happy with it I wanted to write and tell you all how much I appreciate the time and work and knowledge you all have to put together a saddle like that. I also want to thank you for being patient with me and making sure it was right for me and my horse. I really love the leather you used on the seat ,and how well it is formed. You are so right on how it keeps you from slipping around in it. The color is perfect, and it is light enough for me to easily lift . I have been showing
it off ever since.

Unfortunately we had a lot of snow and then it poured down rain, melting the snow, so it has been flooding around here lately so I will have to wait a while to get some good use out of it. It’s alright though, I am saving all my vacation days so when it clears I’ll be ready!

I can’t thank you all enough! Sincerely Sharon Johnson and Tuck

This is the first saddle out of 15 my horse has loved

My horse LOVES this Steele saddle, this is the first saddle out of 15 saddles in 4 years that he’s loved. He gaited nicely today and collected properly for the first time. I have never seen him go so well and not get irritated with horses behind him. Even my friends that trail ride with us commented how “happy’ he looked.

I liked it too, I finally stay centered, and can give good leg cues. I have really bad rheumatoid arthritis and hip replacement and many other joint replacements, and it was lightweight enough for me to handle. Just my seat bones hurt. Also, because I stayed centered, I didn’t get the usual back ache.

I really want one with a horn. Do you have anything in stock?  Anne-Marie

 

I think you’ve built the perfect tree

My equine vet gave his approval with the recommendation to move the D ring
forward. There’s no bridging and he liked the extra foam placement.

Rode for an hour late this evening, I love the fit!!!! No issues with
fitting me and my horse was great, energetic, responsive, worked well in all
gaits – walk, jog, extended trot and canter. I like the secure fit and close
contact feel of the saddle.  Even imprint on the saddle pad and even sweat marks.

I plan a longer ride in the morning and will send pictures on Monday (home
Internet is too slow).  I think you’ve built us the perfect tree!

Thank you,  Kellie DeMary

I was very comfortable and secure in the saddle

The saddle seems to fit my horse well.  I took a two hour ride and took pictures as soon as I came home.  Let me know if you need more or closer pictures.  I was VERY COMFORTABLE and SECURE in the saddle.  I have a lesson Saturday Aug. 18th.  I would like to use it for that lesson and send it back to you on Monday the 20th.  Let me know if you need anything else as I would like to order.  Nancy

Thank you for helping my friends,

I gave your website to Aly Stratton (Washington) and her trainer, Thea (Colorado,) and their friend Cheryl Ann, (Washington)

I found out today,that Aly and her hubby both are ordering saddles and Thea called me yesterday to thank me.  She told me she talked to you for an hour and she never met anyone who understood the foxtrotter like you do – kudos, I am very happy for you.

I think mine is pretty good, but I want one more ride to check out the front.   I will be sending it back shortly.  Thanks for all your help and for helping out my friends.
