Saddle 552 is a dream to ride. Not only does it incorporate just enough tooling with roughout texture to be sharp looking, it comes with stirrup leathers that hang properly for your sport, and a padded seat filled with high tech material that gives protection without feeling way off the horse. An arena roping saddle, that happens to be a great pleasure saddle, choose smooth or rough side out on the jockeys, fenders and skirts. Shown conchos with dees and front breast collar dees. Choose a rope strap on the pommel if you like. Cultured Cowboy can offer either a heavy synthetic, or natural sheepskin bottom fleece option. It really makes the saddle feel luxurious. Shown in a new Dark Golden brown finish on  full Oak Leaf tooling, choose your color of leather, and of seat. Top grain padded seats (shown) are available as well as the suede. Give us your true inseam measurements and we can have the saddle stirrup lengths fitted for you. This is especially handy for youth, ladies, or tall cowboys! Half sizes in seats are available upon request. Your choice of QH or Full QH bars. If you are training horses, this is a good calf roper to have in the barn. The leather is not a bunch of thin pieces glued together. There is no pressed paper product in the skirts. The tree is really a roping tree; go ahead and catch your cow! I can remember when we only recommended really expensive name brands for cow catching. When I sold several Dakota saddles to the same guy, I asked him if he was tearing them apart. He laughed and said, "Chuck, these saddles hold up, man. I just don't want you to raise the price."  We have not! Comes standard with nylon tie straps so your leg is close to the horse. Leather tie straps are available.
