Description from Manufacturer:
The B- Light Trail Saddle is made the traditional, time honored way using a wood tree and leather ground work over a tin strainer. The shear simplicity of this saddle is it's real beauty. No gimmicks here; just an honest-to-goodness saddle hand made with no short cuts.
Tree: B-Light Trail Tree, made of Southern Yellow Pine covered in a single hand-laid layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth. Manufactured exclusively for us by Steele Saddle Tree LLC. The ground work is hand shaped using skirting leather over a 20 gauge saddle strainer (tin seat). We shape this leather to sit you comfortably in the saddle eliminating the need for all the fancy-named thick padding that many are using today to cover poor ground work.
