Trail Saddles Testimonials
My new saddle arrived last night and I got to try it out today. Firstly, it is just so beautiful and perfect! It's exactly what I had envisioned! Secondly, the moment I sat in it--on the saddle stand right out of the box, it felt perfectly made for me. Just my size!! The seat padding, seat size and twist---all just right. When I got on my mare, again, it felt just so right. Honestly , for the first time in my whole life (and I've been riding since I was 10), my legs hang right where they are supposed to--directly under me. No more constantly pushing them back under me when I have to post. No chair seat. I absolutely love every single thing about this beautiful work of art! My mare, who is extremely sensitive and opinionated (and doesn't like to exert herself, as her pics can attest to), walked out nice and forward. She is able to respond to the lightest touch of my legs now since they are always in the right place. I could go on and on! Thank you, thank you, thank you Stacy and Melinda, and to the extremely talented saddle maker(s) who crafted this beautiful and quality saddle!!
Euphrates' new saddle arrived today. We love it! Fits absolutely perfectly, both her and myself! Now I have zero excuses not to ride more 🙂 Thanks for making such an amazing product!
Thank you so much to the team at Allegany Mountain Trail saddles. What a great product and a fantastic experience. Fits my girl perfectly!
I have had this saddle,custom fit, for 3 years...LOVE IT! Mountain Trails...Western Dressage...it goes everywhere and is admired by all! Just had to share!
I have a Gypsy Vanner...That I went through 9 saddles in a year and a half. Not one fit him. One saddle fitter of 50 years came out and tried to fit him...and literally laughed out loud when he saw him. He is a propane tank on legs. He said to me "i have access to 2000 saddles and I don't have one that will fit him". I ended up riding him bareback for close to 2 years because he was miserable in every saddle...or they just rolled off of him at the walk. The amazing thing about Allegany Mountain Trail Saddles is that they send you a series of 9-11 trees to try on your horse before building the saddle. Just the tree...no leather or any rigging. What an eye opening experience. It really shows you how badly "off the rack" saddles fit most horses...forget hard to fit horses. They ended up making a custom tree for my boy...and it fits like a glove. It is amazingly stable and for the first time I have a saddle that doesn't roll off at the walk. Or that he is miserable in. I am ordering another one for my second little girl Gypsy. You will love the whole experience...and most of all you and your horse will LOVE your new saddle. And as an added bonus...It is one of the most beautifully crafted, quality saddles that I have ever seen.
My saddle arrived today! I don't know if there are words exactly to tell you just how thrilled I am with the workmanship of the saddle. It is absolutely stunning from the carving to all the little details. You folks know how to make a saddle right!! This has been such a pleasant experience working with the both of you. Tomorrow I will take it for it's maiden voyage and let you know how my horses like it. I will send you pictures of it on both of them in case you want to use it for your website or testimonials. Again thank you ladies for making this customer feel so taken care of. You both are incredibly professional wonderful people and I certainly will recommend you to my friends. Be Blessed!

Hi Melinda & Staci, The saddle arrived safely on June 30 in time for the holiday. It is so wonderful!!! I just love the new style of stirrups and also the low-rise seat. The tooling & workmanship are very handsome, and Scout has a perfect sweat pattern every time! I’m so eager to put lots of miles on it. Thanks so much for such an outstanding product!
Halloween ride in our Custom trail saddle we bought 3 years ago! Still loving it and the deep seat comes in handy for some of these spooky costumes!
Here's my 20-year old Arabian Khemistry (Jack) in his new AMT saddle. Jack has been a real challenge to fit - very broad, asymmetrical shoulders -- but Stacy went out of her way to get the job done! WE BOTH thank you!!!!
