To address the needs for women who need a padded seat, the ground seats under our “hard seat” saddles have an optional final layer of semi-closed cell foam, comfortable yet durable.”

 

These saddles meet the desires of those who want a quality lightweight Old West saddle for trail, pleasure, show and mounted shooting.
