From the demo to my custom Steele Platinum Trail Saddle I couldn’t be happier with the quality and fit for both the horse and myself. While you were making my new Steele trail saddle, the demo went on a 2 week trail ride in the Carson National Forest and was a huge success with several riders saving pennies and selling old saddles to get their own Rolls Royce of saddles, the Steele Trail Saddle. The Steele demo saddle was used on a 14.1 hand paso, a 15.1 hand paso, a 15 hand paso, and a 16 hand foundation quarter horse. Each horse was rode between 3-10 hours during the day with this saddle. Not one sore back or rubbed spot. Plus I never had to use a breast strap or crupper to keep my Steele saddle in place riding through the Rocky Mountains. All the other riders had to use both breast strap and crupper as we bushwhacked with our horses through the Carson National Forest.
My Steele Trail Saddle has also been used on a 14.1 hand petit Paso, a 15 hand Missouri Fox Trotter, a 15.1 Tennessee Walker and a quarter horse. This one trail saddle fit each horse with no signs of rubbing, back soreness or other signs of discomfort. Plus, I never once experienced knee or back soreness. Thank you for making an amazing fitting trail saddle that holds up to what ever the weather or human throws it’s way.
