Mike Branch Natural Ride Saddle

Tree: Natural  Ride 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.

Bars: Full Quarter Horse Bars
Weight: Approximately 29 lbs.
Gullet Width: 7"
Gullet Height: 8"
