The Bear Brook Cordura Trail Saddle is built to be both economical and functional for trail riders. Not to mention, saddling is much easier when the saddle only weighs 21 lbs. The short, round skirt fits stocky, short-backed trail horses perfectly and helps reduce excess weight and pressure on the horse's back. The double-padded seat makes it an excellent choice for keeping you relaxed and pain-free while riding, and the saddle strings are strategically placed to accommodate your gear for the trail.
