The Western Sport Trail model Sensation Ride offers almost all the features of a traditional treed western (minus the horn). The small footprint of this saddle suits short-backed horses particularly well. A 3.5 tall, wrap around cantle provides a feeling of security for the riders seat, while the upright 12 swells provide greater thigh freedom without compromising security.
The rigging of this saddle is a dropped 3 billet system. This type of rigging has proven to be more adaptable and lower profile than the traditional western plate/ring rigging. The rider may use any of the 3 billets as a lower attachment for the stirrup leather anchor, making the stirrup position very adjustable. Longer length dressage girths would be used with this saddle.
The Western Sport Trail features 9 rings as standard equipment. This includes rings to accommodate both western and English breastplates, as well as rings for crupper and saddle packs.
This model is suited to any riders who appreciate a western look and feel to their saddle and wish to have a very lightweight western option. Almost any size of rider would be able to use this Sensation RideTM as there are many options for fender and seat sizing.
Available in various choices of smooth to grippy leathers - check with your dealer for the latest offerings. Hardware choices are Stainless steel or solid brass.
Standard sizes on this model would be 15 or 16 with 14 being semi-custom.
