More Product Details
Engineered specifically for the fast-paced, high-torque maneuvers of competitive cutting, this saddle offers the perfect balance of rider stability and equine freedom of movement. Handcrafted from 100% premium buffalo leather, it is built on a traditional rawhide-wrapped wood tree designed to withstand intense lateral pressure. The stitched nubuck seat, padded with D60 high-density foam, provides superior "locked-in" grip and ergonomic comfort during rapid stops and turns. Featuring intricate hand-tooling across the entire saddle and a premium wool and felt underside, this complete tack set combines elite arena performance with a distinctive Western aesthetic.
