This gorgeous new saddle from South Bend Saddlery features a Steele Equifit tree called the "AW," which was designed specifically for the curvier, broader-backed horse that needs a wider fit from the shoulder to the loin, and extra flare for a progressive shoulder. It offers 1" more shoulder room than the average FQHB!
The wooden tree is fiberglass reinforced, which locks out moisture and adds another layer of strength to the tree, adding to the longevity of your saddle. It has at 28" butterfly close contact skirt, with regular length fenders, and real fleece bottom. This saddle is new, and the leather is still stiff and squeaky, needs to be worn in!
