Tough-1 Bodie Hardseat Ranch Saddle

The hardseat is designed for stability and contact rather than plush cushioning. While it offers a secure, traditional feel that many working riders prefer for long days, it is firmer than a padded seat and may require a break-in period.

This saddle is built on a Quarter Horse (QH) tree with a 7-inch gullet, which is designed to accommodate the standard conformation of most Quarter Horses. We recommend measuring your horse's wither width to ensure the 7-inch gullet provides proper clearance.

The roughout leather provides extra texture and grip, which is essential for security during quick stops, turns, or athletic maneuvers. It helps keep you locked in the seat more effectively than smooth, finished leather.

This saddle weighs 21 pounds. It is constructed with a durable rawhide-wrapped fiberglass tree, balancing the need for a sturdy, reliable build for ranch work with a manageable weight for daily tacking.

Yes, it includes a rear cinch and saddle strings, so you are equipped for ranch work right out of the box. You will just need to add your own girth or front cinch to get started.

Yes, the saddle features quick-change stirrup buckles. These allow you to adjust the length of your stirrups efficiently without needing to unlace the leather, which is helpful if multiple riders use the same saddle.
