Circle Y Round Rock Gaited Trail Saddle

Gaited horses have a different range of motion in their shoulders and back compared to non-gaited breeds. This saddle uses a specialized DURAhide tree designed to accommodate that natural movement, preventing the saddle from restricting the horse's gait or causing discomfort.

Pre-turned fenders are set to the natural position of your legs, which significantly reduces the torque and strain on your knees and ankles. This is particularly helpful for long trail rides where you need to maintain a comfortable, neutral leg position for hours.

Yes, the saddle features adjustable position in-skirt rigging. This allows you to change the rigging placement to better suit the conformation of your specific horse, ensuring the saddle stays secure without causing pressure points.

At 30 pounds, this saddle is considered mid-weight. While it provides the stability and durability needed for rough terrain, it is substantial enough that you will want to ensure you are comfortable lifting that amount of weight onto your horse's back.

The rear angled dee provides an additional attachment point for your cinch or gear, which helps stabilize the back of the saddle. This is especially useful when navigating steep or uneven terrain, as it keeps the saddle from shifting or lifting.

The fleece lining is designed for simple maintenance. You can typically keep it clean by brushing off dried sweat and dirt after rides with a stiff-bristled brush, and occasionally spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
