I couldn’t be more pleased,

I received my new Steele trail saddle today and I am so excited! It’s absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you for building me a gorgeous saddle that not only fits my horse like a dream but is comfortable for me as well. For me, the demo program was priceless because it removed the guesswork in buying a new saddle. When I ordered my saddle, I had peace of mind because I knew it fit my horse, thanks to the demo program and Eric’s expertise. Eric: I appreciate all of the time that you spent answering my questions and ensuring that I invested in the perfect saddle for me. You are so helpful and thorough and I couldn’t have asked for better customer service.

Just a side note, I want y’all to know, I caught my mother sitting on my new saddle today and I had to kick her off it. She’s been shopping on your website all day and I suspect it won’t be long before she orders one of her own. In the meantime, I guess I’ll be sharing mine. Ha. We are both so impressed by the artisanship of Steele Saddles. Thank you, again. God bless.

I will post pictures this weekend of my brand new Steele Mountaineer saddle in action!

From Steele Trail Saddles:  Thank you Carrie for taking the time to say that. It was a pleasure to work with you. You will want to ride more and your horse will be happier to see you. It really does put the joy back into riding. Thanks again and God bless. Eric

I like the new tooling for my Steele saddle,

Yes, I like this tooling on the new Steele Platinum Plantation trail saddle for my new saddle.  Did you get my conchos w the saddle return demo saddle shipment?  If my conchos do not fit, send me pictures of what you have to choose from.

Thanks Stephanie Szabo

Platinum Steele “with horn” Ladie’s

I received my Steele Plantation Platinum trail saddle this week and absolutely love it.   It is the first model they have made with the “ladies’ tooling” which features an elegant rose hand tooled leather design.  This trail saddle is beautiful with the dark chocolate buffalo hide seat contrasting.  I can’t wait to ride with my friends this weekend.  READ MORE

My wife told me I’d love the Steele Saddle

My wife has ridden a Steele Plantation tree saddle for the past 14 years and I’ve had 3 saddles in the past 10 years.  When we first married 10 years ago, I bought a custom saddle that was beautiful and fit great UNTIL I rode it for a couple of hours.  I got down from my horse and we went saddle shopping at the Emminence Trail Ride.  I had learned my lesson and tried the next saddle first before buying it.  The Circle Y Flex Tree Plantation seat was a good fit and I ended up buying two of them as I wanted something with a wider cantle for the young horses we were riding and training.  Our farm is www.GenesisTWH.com and we have horses in more than 17 states which we train for people who want a walking horse that is bred with World Champion sires or better, a great gait, and better personalities.

I rode the Circle Y and kept the spare just in case.  5 years ago, I discovered an issue with my Circle Y as it was causing saddle sores on some horses right at the back top of the saddle where it pressed into their backs.  I fixed my saddle pad and as I didn’t change horses for some time, thought the problem solved.  Then I rode one of our Jose’ Jose’ mares on 20 mile trail in Big Southfork.  I was sick to discover just how bad it had sored her.  She couldn’t be ridden for more than 6 weeks.  It was then I started looking for another saddle.

My wife, of course, wanted me to try the Steele Saddle demo program and I resisted as I felt sure the expense was too high for just a saddle.  She ordered one anyway for me to ride during the next Eastfork 10 day ride and….I was wrong.

First, eliminating the issues so that no other horse was left with a saddle sore at the end of the day is priceless and the comfort for the rider is just amazing.  I have bad hips and after 10 days riding I discovered, that I did not suffer as I had before and was not overly sore.  We put the horses in several difficult situations on long trail rides and steep inclines and it performed perfectly.  I am waiting on my new Steele Trail Boss trail saddle now and have ordered it with the lightweight cedar tree, tapadaros, and the new hand tooling that Steele Saddle now offers.  I’ll have to thank my wife for showing me why she has been such an avid Steele Saddle fan for all these years.  We actually ordered two as she is getting the new Platinum Steele trail saddle with tooling.  IMG_1946
