I was in the market for a new saddle, like my vehicles, I keep and use everything until it wears out. I’ve had a Tucker Troop for 20 yrs that I loved. But it was time to let it become my backup saddle. I intended to replace it with another Tucker Trooper, but discovered the quality of the leather was not the same. So I did a lot of research on the type of saddle I wanted. I was not happy with anything I had seen. Then in May 2015 I was camping at a friend’s place and she had just gotten a Steele Mountaineer Trail Saddle and it was just what I was looking for. I called & talked with Eric and he was really patient with me. I had a lot of questions. He sent me out a demo and I was very impressed with the 12 step program. I am so amazed that Eric can tell so much about how to fit the tree to a horse by looking at the pictures you take. I included 1 of the 12 pictures he asks you to take.
I Ordered the saddle and Pad. Looking forward to receiving this fine saddle. My husband says Merry Christmas 🙂 BOY, did he get off easy!! LOL – BJ Horton De Leon Springs Florida
