Thank you Steele Saddle

I may be done with my riding season for this year although I do hope to get one or two more in before the weather gets ugly. I must say that my Steele Classic Trail saddle and Steele saddle pad has been a real blessing this season. In the past, my horse would develop a sore spot on his back after a 10 to 15-mile ride. I tried many things to avoid this but couldn’t solve the issue. My horse never had a sore spot on his back this summer and neither did I. I didn’t get as grouchy after lunch as I did in the past and when I dismounted I could walk right away and didn’t have to wait a few seconds to get the feeling back in my legs. The cedar tree is light enough that I have no trouble lifting the saddle on to my horse even after having total reverse replacements on both shoulders. I just wonder how many folks who have quit riding because it was too uncomfortable could still be enjoying the trail on a Steele saddle. Thank You, Eric, Fred, and Steele Saddle Company. – James C.

Love my new ride!

I ride for Alpha & Omega Mounted Patrol and I just completed a ten-hour shift at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Concert in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I love my Steel Saddle, I can’t say enough good things! I have no sore legs or numb toes and my back doesn’t hurt. It’s the best for both the human and the horse, thank you so much, Steele!

Thank you for constructing a saddle that is as comfortable as my couch!

Thank you for constructing a saddle that is as comfortable as my couch… it’s perfect for me and for my horse! My photo reflects the amount of freedom and ease at which the light cedar tree offers my mare to move easily around the barrel for mounted shooting. The lightness and deep seat are key, I’m in sync, I can feel her every move. This saddle is constructed well with impressive quality leather, and I’m sure I will get many a good year of wear going forward. Thank you for providing the great consumer service and reassurance while the saddle was under construction. It was worth the wait. Also, the saddle pad is amazing and so is the breast collar! I’m getting tons of compliments. – Michele K.

Steele is the best by far.

My new Fox Trotter in my new Steele saddle (not me aboard though). A great horse and the best saddle I’ve been in (and I’ve had many), including expensive custom made saddles. Steele is the best by far, and great guys to work with.

Many thanks,

My new Steele saddle fits like a glove!

I received my saddle yesterday and I’m very pleased. The quality and craftsmanship are incredible. I immediately removed it from the box, carried it to the barn, and tacked up my six year old. It fits her like a glove and she was pleased with the fit. She was reaching out and staying in her gait without any pressure, “pinching”, or pain. Also, I noticed that I am finally sitting in the correct position and not in “chair seat” as I was with my old (and too big) saddle. Thank you and I plan on pitching your saddles to other riders I meet on the trail. I apologize in advance if you start to see an increase in orders!! – Jeff C.
