I ride a Steele on my cross gaited mule Newt.

“I am getting a lot of questions on my Mule as to what brand saddle I am using when people are seeing these pictures.  Here I painted my Rocky Mountain Cross Gaited Mule Newt to look like a Zebra for a parade.  My Steele Saddle fits all my mules so well, no need for breast collars or cruppers even on the mountain trails I ride.”

Incredible saddle from Steele.

I had my first long mountain ride yesterday and it was incredible. Not only did I feel solid but my horse, Tori, was fluid and more responsive than she’s been in years. The best (or worst) part was when she thought she saw a bear while going downhill, her leap and spin felt just like we were reining on flat ground. The saddle and I stayed put, no slipping, no shifting. My friends were amazed and impressed. When we got back to the trailer, my friend jumped on and I thought I’d check the cinch. I could put two fingers between it and Tori! That’s the sign of a well fitting saddle!

I’m very happy I chose you folks and will sing your praises! I’m looking forward to many miles of comfortable riding.

All the best,
Heidi and Tori

Our saddles are wonderful!

Just wanted to let you know that the 2 Mountaineer saddles you built for us are wonderful! We’ve ridden them enough to get completely used to them. We are both in our 70’s and weight was a concern, but the weights are perfect! Even I can carry them one-handed. The saddle pads work well and we use then exclusively. We have 5 horses (only three when we ordered) and the saddles fit all fine. Even better, they fit us fine as well.

Thanks Again,
Bill & Ginger

Thanks for the dream saddle!

First I would like to say that my “non moving cold quarter horse” moves like a dream. I was told she’s a cold quarter horse and you have to keep after her. Second, my chiropractor would like to thank Eric at Steele Saddle because I’m not in pain anymore. And third, I would like to say thank you to Eric at Steele saddle for the best dream saddle you could ever own. It is custom fit to you and your horse, not just one or the other. I tell people I went from a Chevy Chevette to a Rolls Royce in saddles!
