Steele Saddles Go Anywhere

Awesome saddles, we have two Mountaineers and love them.  I wish I’d been able to try one sooner.  I never get sore and have not had one issue with the horses having a sore back either.  I have tried many other “good saddles” but had several issues.  First problem we had was a bad fit for the horses.  This was a big problem as often as we ride.  Then we’ve had some issues with comfort for us (not as big a deal but worth mentioning).  After trying a Steele Mountaineer trail saddle, that’s all my wife and I ride.  I would and do recommend Steele trail saddles to our friends and anyone who asks about them on the trail.

Good people to deal who make a very quality product.  A lot of companies say stuff like “made for hunters by hunters” etc. but it is pretty cool to know and see that these saddles are really made by people that actually do ride and camp like we do.

Nothing is better than receiving photos from our customers showing how much they enjoy trail riding on their Steele saddles.  These customers have a matching set of our trail saddles and exhibit the “can do attitude” of trail riding!  Thank you so much for sharing these pictures of your horses on the trails with our saddles.

My new saddle is beautiful!

Beau has had 4 rides in his new Steele saddle.  He is really comfortable.  Actually the first ride, I think he thought he was bareback, he was a handful!   I used the neats foot oil and turned the stirrups in a week.

I used the wool felt pad the first time, but used the TackyToo for the next 3, and it worked better with the saddle.  I have a perfect sweat line, good foxtrot and comfortable canter.  It puts my rear where it should be for a long foxtrot without any effort .  The extra strings and rings make it completely functional for jackets, water bottle, etc.  I will send you a picture on my next ride.

Besides all that, It is beautiful, the workmanship is top shelf.  I’m wrestling with the stirrup length,  down, is comfortable for riding, but I can’t get my leg over the cantle,  up one notch feels too short.   My legs are not particularly long, but I like  my stirrups longer – feel more secure and easier to keep forward and sit deep.  The breast collar is very functional which I love, it is not just decoration but holds the saddle firm up steep hills and wide & flat enough not to cut into his chest.

A friend of mine called you, he saw my saddle and  is really impressed with it but said he can’t get past not having a square skirt . I  shook my head and asked him if was trail riding or going in a parade. Unnecessary leather is a big part of what makes it light. Jeez

I am going to send back the reins.  I have a set of reins I got in Tennessee that are thin and rounded where your hands are.  I love them and am moving them to the headstall which I do like a lot.  Thanks for all your guidance and working with me.  Anne

Thank you both so much!

I received my Steele trail saddle late in the day and went from the box to the horse. I am so happy and I thank you for the little extra touch that you put in the box. I am very proud to show off your beautiful saddle and will post more pictures later.  Thank you Tammy Rattenne

My horse gaits like a dream

My new Steele trail saddle is amazing and I love it! My horse gaits like a dream under my new saddle. Thank you, again.  Carrie

I love my Steele Saddle

I have one of your Steele trail saddles and love it.  I’m looking for a new pad but am having a hard time find a wool ½” thick pad.  Do you have any demo pads in brown you have available for sale?  Thank you.   Lisa Hubert
