Customized 16" Old Timer Trail Saddle on Steele Tree.
An all Leather made use of saddle is a one of a kind customized made Old Timer Trail Saddle improved a Fiberglass Encased Tree made by Steele http://steelesaddle.com/.The Steele saddles begin at $1700.
It is the most comfy saddle I've ever ridden in. In my opinion better then the Ortho flex and tucker saddles. The free swinging stirrups, padded 16 inch seat (big adult) and close contact with your horse is simple and exceptional on my knees and bum. Weight 20-25 lbs.
I've utilized it on rugged mountain trails on all types of equines and mules and never sored them. It's a good fitting saddle. , if I have a really narrow walking steed I simply use an extra thick pad.

maker in the old style Mt saddles made here in TN. (without the bling) It was called a McBride.
It was available in numerous styles in the 1800's and early 1900's made in Cookeville, TN.
Because they were extremely comfortable, it was a very popular saddle. Utilized on horses, donkeys, mules as well as cattle.
I own a McBride saddle from that era but people were smaller back then and just featured a 141/2" tree.
