Before I ordered a Steele Saddle, my trail rides ended with my body in pain. I would recommend Steele Saddle to everyone!

Before I ordered a Steele Saddle, my trail rides ended with my body in pain. My entire body. I thought it was just going to be like that for me since I am older now. I was not enjoying the longer rides because I was just ready to get back to camp and get off my horse! I tried the demo saddle the first time on a very long trail ride and was PAIN-FREE at the end! I was shocked!! And obviously very pleased. My horse was pain-free also! My old saddle hurt his back which was why I was trying the Steele Saddle in the first place. I was sold after that first ride!! But of course, I rode the demo several more times before sending it back to be sure it was as good as I thought it was. Since receiving my new Steele Saddle, I logged over 100 miles in it in a month’s time between two horses. I can say without a doubt, buying the Steele saddle was well worth it. My horses and I enjoy our rides now and it is so lightweight!! It truly is the perfect saddle! I LOVE my Steele Saddle and would recommend it to everyone!!! – Annette V. (Facebook Testimonial)

My daughter loves her new saddle!

The expression on my daughter Tatum’s face says it all Christmas Day when she unwrapped her Steele Trail saddle. She was able to get in several trail rides over Christmas break and loves the saddle even more.

I am blown away by the craftsmanship you all put into this!

Eric, Fred, and the entire Steele Saddle crew!
I just got my amazing, beautiful new Steele Saddle a few weeks ago and I am absolutely blown away by the beauty and unique quality craftsmanship that you all put into this stunning piece of art. I ordered this back in July after receiving some inheritance money from my parents who are both now passed away. I am confident that they are both smiling at the unbelievable gift that they were able to give to me and even better is the providence of my Abba Father to lead me to you all about 12 years ago. This is my 3rd Steele Saddle and I am so grateful to God for you all! Tears of joy are streaming down my face even as I write this! Just in time for Christmas, this beautiful saddle arrived to show me how very much our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ cares for every little detail of our lives! It fits me and both of my Foxtrotters perfectly! Be encouraged that you are making saddles to the glory of God! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your family and staff! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! – Susan L.

This is a good saddle!

This is a good saddle. We have one season, around 300 mountain miles, on it and are very happy with material quality and workmanship. And, it’s very comfortable for riders and horses. We routinely ride 20+ mile days in the wilderness and don’t feel beat up at the end of the day.

We appreciate the security of the deep seat and the free-swinging English-style stirrup leathers. I swing into this saddle at the start of the day and it just feels right, like a favorite pair of hiking boots. It is also really durable. I was concerned about the strength of the cedar tree but it has been in two hard wrecks without structural damage. The leather is top shelf and has not been sealed or top-finished. This means it readily takes neatsfoot and is easier to maintain.

I think it makes for a shorter and more efficient break-in too. Really happy with this saddle. – Jim Watson, Carol Bibler (NW Montana)

Carol & Jim, thank you for sending such an in-depth testimonial.  We think the deep seat is especially important to our riders and appreciate the comments.  Eric & Fred
