The B-Light Trail Saddle is made in the traditional time honored way, using a wood tree and leather ground work over a tin seat strainer. The sheer simplicity of this saddle is it's real beauty. No gimmicks here; just an honest-to-goodness , hand- made saddle with no short cuts.
- MSRP: $2995
- Tree: The B-Light Trail Tree is made of Southern Yellow Pine and covered in a single, hand-laid layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth. It is manufactured exclusively for us by Steele Saddle Tree, LLC. The ground work is hand shaped using skirting leather over a 20 gauge tin seat strainer. We shape this leather seat to sit you comfortably in the saddle , eliminating the need for all the fancy-named thick padding that many are using today to cover poor ground work.
