I received my Steele saddle on 9/5/11. It’s been 7 weeks since receiving it in early September and I have ridden just about every day since. I want to thank you for taking the time to send the tree to me on several occasions to get the fit just right. The end result is a very light weight trail saddle that fits my horse and me perfectly. I think that is quite an accomplishment considering my horse is approximately 16.3 – 17 hands barefooted and weighs about 1300 lbs. (maybe a little more). I trail ride and challenge him with anything and everything that comes our way. I originally wanted to purchase one of your Steele saddles in part due to the light weight so I would be able to lift it up on my horse as I get older (currently 67). What I have discovered is not only will I be able to saddle my horse for many years to come but I will also be in the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden.
Thank you, Frank Johnson
P.S. We plan to purchase a Steele Saddle for my wife.
