This is a new western plantation Steel trail saddle without a horn we built for J. Cousins out of Dardanelle AR this month. It features our chocolate leather with black leather seat and extra rings – strings.
Western Plantation for J. Cousins

Great Saddles!
We started the custom saddle fitting process in early spring. After a careful fitting process under Eric’s guidance, we were all satisfied with the fit, especially AJ (the horse). The saddle was then promptly finished. We have been riding steadily for the past several months, so this review is based on a fair amount of use (not just the excitement from having a new saddle). AJ and I are both very happy. The Mountaineer saddle fits both of us like a glove–it is lightweight, comfortable and well made. I expect years of great riding!

1,000 thanks to Steele Saddle,
Here’s some excitement coming up. Fred and Eric so kindly agreed to make a plantation saddle adapted to my special riding needs – I’m a para equestrian, and literally ride by the seat of my pants – i.e. very little leg use, means I’ve developed a truck and seat that use a lot of ti chi kinda balance.
That can be so enhanced by the deep seat and contour of the cantle and by some cool additions to my pommel on the plantation model – it will have metal hand grabs on either side, because however great of a horse, and balanced of a seat I might have, there’s always the unexpected ! LOL – and on steep or rough terrain, knowing I have sturdy grips at 3 O’Clock and 9 O’Clock on the pommel means I can push my butt firmly in the seat and go into wilderness, I couldn’t other wise see.
Fred’s even making the skirts after the beautiful shapes of Ladies’s astride saddles of days gone by. Can’t wait to have it and pictures are forthcoming. The design is something that might appeal to able bodied (but middle aged) endurance riders who want to ensure their seat on rugged stretches – or one of these para saddles would be a fabulous gift to any therapeutic riding programs you support.
1000 thanks to the Steele Saddle for making this happen for me. It means the world ! Kathy
