Mountaineer is very safe on trails,

“I wanted to email you about my new Steele Mountaineer trail saddle. I just love it! I have been doing some light trail riding in it, and twice my large, powerful (and green) Warmblood has spooked hard and attempted to bolt.  Both times I felt completely secure and safe in that saddle, and was able to easily perform a single-rein stop and bring him right back to me.  Not only is the saddle comfortable – it’s very safe for unpredictable trail riding conditions! Thank you for making such a great product. I show the saddle off to everyone I know. :)”
