For years people have been telling us: "I'd love to have a Don West "Signature Series" Pleasure-Trail Custom Saddle, but I just can't afford it. " Well, no more excuses. Now you can! Here's our NEW production line of Don West Trail-Lite Saddles! Pleasure-trail riding and Paso and naturally gaited horse equitation are enhanced by a close-fitting, short-barred tree that makes even contact with the horse's back, effectively spreading the riders weight over the largest area, without interfering with the horse's shoulder action. Don West Saddles have short bars with lots of rock and more flair at the ends for a better fit on short backed (gaited) horses. The same good looks and short, great fitting bars as our Don West "Signature Series" Pecos Trail-Lite Custom Saddles, now in a production saddle. Finally, here's a reasonably priced, lightweight, western style saddle that fits short backed, Paso and naturally gaited horses, that puts the rider close to the horse and in the right "sit-down" position, bring the best out of your gaited horse! For pleasure, trail, or training. If you're a trail rider, especially one riding a Paso or naturally gaited horse (or any short backed horse), you're going to love this saddle! We think you and your horse deserve the best. Why saddle for less? Trail-Lite Saddles come complete with: our padded and stitched seat (smooth out or rough out), western fenders with Blevins buckles, our Don West Training-Trail Tapadero Stirrups (with full floor), latigos and latigo keepers on both sides, our Spanish Style border tooling, crupper and breast collar D-rings, and footmans loops (metal brackets with rings) on the pommel and cantle, with long leather strings.
