B-Light Trail Saddle II

The B- Light Trail Saddle II  is the same  great saddle many of you have come to know and love. The only difference  is the skirt pattern. We've had a several calls for a square skirt  version. Here it is! Made the traditional, time honored way using a wood  tree and leather ground work over a tin strainer. The shear simplicity  of this saddle is it's real beauty. No gimmicks here; just an  honest-to-goodness saddle hand made with no short cuts.

Tree:  B-Light Trail Tree, made of Southern Yellow Pine covered in a single  hand-laid layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth. Manufactured exclusively for  us by Steele Saddle Tree LLC. The ground work is hand shaped using  skirting leather over a 20 gauge saddle strainer (tin seat). We shape  this leather 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.
