Trail Saddles Testimonials

Can you be in love with a saddle?? Oh, why YES YOU CAN! After researching saddles (4 months!) I finally came across trailridingsaddles.com and was convinced. After looking at the different models I chose the Cascade Wade saddle. Picked out the leather colors, tooling, strings, wraps, amount of skirting, etc... even got the extra back girth with more latigo strings and hoof pick holders. Staci is a doll to work with (and very patient, even if you're extremely fussy and keep changing your mind on colors and suede versus smooth seats!) I love everything about my new saddle, and the best part is knowing that it fits my horse. Prior to building, Staci sent out the Steele fit-to-be-seen forms for me to try on him. This only made me feel more comfortable knowing the saddle wouldn't just be aesthetically pleasing for me, but perfect for my horse's back. How could all horses either be FQHB or SQHB? Having the forms sent out to FIT your horse only makes sense!! The seat is extremely comfortable and secure feeling—yes, even without the suede seat I feel very secure-at every pace. My new Cascade Wade is a hit at the barn, it’s a miracle if I can get it on him and through the gates without being stopped by everyone in sight! But I won’t lie, I like talking about it, how it was custom made for me and my horse, who made it, what kind of leather it is, the Fit-to-be-seen forms and Staci (of course!). To anyone wondering if this is the way to go or the saddle to buy, believe me, it is!! I’m riding in my dream saddle!! Thank you so very much Staci and Allegany Mountain Trail Saddle team!! Your forever customer, Kristin W. (& Dandy!)
