I have tried many saddles, but this one is the last saddle I will ever need, no matter what breed or size of horse I might ride. My daughter and I both have Steele Mountaineer saddles, and we have had our saddles on all ten of our horses. They fit them all! It is unbelievable! My family owns five Icelandic horses, two Rocky Mountain horses, one 16-hand Friesian/Morgan cross, one Morgan, and one Arabian. My 25-year-old Rocky Mountain horse’s back had dropped from many years of saddles that had been “fitted” to his back, but forced him to lower his back instead of rounding it. I don’t know how many brands of saddles I bought—I tried Western, English, treeless—they were all awful. He lost muscle on his back, looked old and sway-backed, and was in pain during a ride. One brand helped his back, but hurt me. Now, after 4 years using only my Steele saddle, Sam looks young again and enjoys his rides. His back has come up and muscled out. And, I am finally having a comfortable ride, and feel secure, too. These saddles seem to fit every type of horse, from narrow to wide! It’s such a relief to not have to worry about the gullet being wide or narrow, or whether the saddle will pinch, or be too wide! My daughter is ordering a Steele saddle for her 5-year-old son. Thank you, Steele Saddles! – Sharon M.
