Circle G
Pleasure Saddles
by
Circle G Brand Saddles
Sometimes,
all you need is a saddle to get you by. Sometimes, you deserve the
best. Just for trail riding. Just for solitude with your horse.
Just for time with God.
From
the time you hear, "Cultured Cowboy, how can I help
you?", and even after you have been riding in our products
for years, we are in your corner. We know there is more to a
memorable ride than the lightest possible saddle. We know you must
have confidence in your gear, so that you can concentrate on the
brief moments at hand. We know that we sell other brands of
saddles to people who are not as serious. And we know Garroutte
saddles, with their Circle G Brand will work with us, and you, to
achieve all you aspire to be.
Many
times we ask for pictures to help you with your ride. If you have
them, we appreciate copies. They often help us to make
recommendations for you. We are not the guys to call for quickest
delivery of something that we bought on "special" to
shove at you. Most every saddle we offer is available as a saddle
made uniquely for your needs and wants. Working together, that is
what life is supposed to be about.
Circle
G Trail saddles and pleasure saddles are engineered to become some of the most
comfortable Western saddles made. The cantles give lots of
support on long rides. Just like proper arches in your boots,
proper structure of your wooden, hide covered tree will allow best
comfort for you and your horse. Yes, CNC machines now cut out the parts of wooden
trees. This is so the many pieces line up properly. But go to a
lumber yard and look at all the differences in woods. Your
foundation is built upon select best woods.
We
talk a lot about the benefits of flex trees on other parts of our
website. And we believe that a flex tree can be much better than
low priced wooden trees that are put in saddles under $1000.00.
But, when made correctly, an experienced saddler, who is not bound
by every nickel and dime, can still build the best from natural
materials.
Just
like leather: Bellies are cheap. Sides cost a little more. Backs,
and shoulders, that are the prime cuts, cost only when you buy
them. The benefits of movement and "snap-back" well
outweigh the leathers that stretch too much, or tear fiber rather
than give. When you
give a craftsman enough slack, he will make you the best. True
artists give their all when they are given all they need.
Tooling is planned and carved
for each position on your saddle, instead of looking like an
afterthought. Rather than a die cut piece of leather with
oversized leather conchos to
cover the gaps, each piece of leather is hand fitted and properly
molded for a tasteful and useful marriage between parts. Heavy
oiling is available on each saddle.
Garroutte
Products will make saddles that are better than average. Better in
quality, better in fit and better in performance. When you
can easily spend $500.00 and all weekend on gas, truck, trailer,
motel, grounds fees, entry fees, etc., you deserve the best.
Whether
or not you have the experience of a professional, anybody can sit
in one of these handmade pleasure saddles, and tell it was made to
enjoy. The
tree and the saddle make it easier to enjoy by placing emphasis on
every part of your position. The ground seat and rise is proper to aid you in
your riding, rather than restricting you.
The standard tree in this saddle is
Full Quarter Horse bars with a 3.5 inch height cantle. Adjustments
can be made.
Since
leg
position is important in the racing arena, we are going to ask you a
few questions about your leg dimensions, sort of like fitting for
chaps, so that length of leg as well as diameter of thigh are
properly positioned. With seat sizes from 14 to 17 in half inch
increments, fit can be exacting.
Rigging
is shown as a close contact dropped dee in-skirt. A slot
reinforced with a silver plate provides placement of a rear flank. Ever heard of a 1 piece hardseat? We
can do that too. One of the best saddles we ever designed was
roughout hardseat close contact.
High
quality choices of heavy duty synthetic fleece, and wool are
offered.
Your saddle can be, and we prefer to ship to you, in a padded
saddle bag by Big D Blanket company. This bag will help insure the
proper finish of your investment for many years.

Look
at the detail in both the hand carvings of the
leathers and in the engraving of the silver.
Each saddle is made by an artist with many
saddles of experience under their belt. Their pride rides on
the saddle made just for you.
When you begin with the best quality leathers,
and professional craftsmen, you can finish with a look that can
hold it's value over time.

Did
you know that your
supporting tack is as important as your saddle?
Having a breast collar that is sturdy enough for
the job, yet will move with your horse can make
a difference in safety or falling off. Be
sure your girth is properly fitting and always
do a pre-flight check on all parts of reins,
headstalls, bits, non-slip padding, leg
protection,...everything, before your ride.
(Tooling
detail of breast collars at left.) Remember,
You choose your breast collar tooling pattern
and color. (Basket, Oak, Basket & Oak,
Basket / Barb Wire, to name a few)
Cultured Cowboy can match every saddle. More
details on the Breast Collar page.
