Dakota Saddles

The Dakota 600L equitation is a real pleasure to your eyes! What is a pleasure saddle, anyway? It is a saddle you expect to feel comfortable when you are in that seat for long hours at a time. The material Dakota uses for padding our Cultured Cowboy saddles is a superior grade of high tech material that will not compress, nor deteriorate in short time. The standard tree in this saddle is Quarterhorse bars with a medium height cantle, but you can order a higher cantle if you would like. (Regular or Full QH bars available.) Also available with a Flex tree. Flex saddles have more give to them. They fit to the horse as the girth is tightened. The flex saddles give more as the horse makes its movements. This can be especially advantageous for young, or aged horses. Flex trees are not going to allow too much weight in the center of the horses' back. Weight is distributed over a large area. Years from now, you will enjoy the same comfort as when this saddle was new. You can be proud to ride this equitation saddle in the show ring or in your pastures. Either place, if comfort is a priority, this saddle is for you. This one is shown with a floral handtooled print, Montana Silver, and rust suede seat. The saddle can be fully tooled over all leather if you prefer. And you can choose from floral, basket, or oak leaf designs. The pelican wrapped horn is a favorite in equitation circles. Comes standard with rear dees under the conchos, but you can easily change to leathers with silver tips. Breast collar dees are standard. We recommend thinking about one of our better fleece options: thicker synthetic, or real sheepskin. Let us know your inseam and we will be sure that the stirrups will fit properly. Plenty of room in the thigh area. Comes standard with nylon girth tie straps for a fit that gets closer to your horse. Leather is available. Life doesn't get much better than all this!
