It offers a sophisticated, versatile look that complements a wide range of tack and horse colors.How do I determine the correct size for myself?We recommend choosing your saddle size based on rider weight for optimal comfort and fit. Our guidelines are: Large fits riders 140-169 lbs, and X-Large fits riders 170-215 lbs.

Its flexible, universal design is often praised for fitting "hard-to-fit" horses and adapting to various conformations, making it a great all-around equestrian trail saddle option.Will this saddle fit all horse conformations equally well?While designed for adaptability, the Cashel G2 tends to fit flat-backed horses particularly well due to its treeless nature.

We always recommend observing your horse's comfort and fit closely.Does the G2 Soft Saddle offer a close-contact riding feel?The G2 Soft Saddle provides a uniquely soft and padded ride, often described as a comfortable hybrid between a bareback pad and a traditional saddle.
