HELPFUL TIPS:

7/8” In-Skirt rigging is the most commonly used because it provides enough stability to the front of the saddle without interfering with movement!
The Cobra tree comes in two fits, regular and wide. If you have questions about saddle fit, contact Circle Y customer service or your local Circle Y authorized dealer
Hardseat saddles are a timeless choice and are known for their unmatchable comfortability once broken in
Roughout adds grip to the saddle seat, by creating additional friction to hold the rider in place

MORE DETAILS: The placement of the saddle on the horse’s back is important to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse’s shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse’s movement. Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously and understand how vital saddle fit is to you and your horse. Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle, which can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back. Most horses (excluding heavy work like roping) perform best with a 3/4-inch pad. It’s a good rule of thumb to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing regularly.

Another key piece we see often contributes to difficulty fitting saddles is horse conformation. A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and downhill builds need correctional pads to ensure proper fit. We recommend checking out Reinsman Equestrian correction padding to ensure your horse’s comfort or call our customer service team for more info!

WARRANTY: 10-Year Tree Warranty | 1-Year Craftsmanship Warranty | If at any point your saddle is showing damage, call our customer service team to receive prompt repair and guidance

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Every new saddle has been oiled and then finished with a protective finish, which means you don’t need to oil it for about six months. If you’re riding a lot in dry or variable weather conditions, you should oil it sooner. The protective finish is water-based so your leather can breathe, so do not use detergent-based, solvent, or harsh cleaning products. Rub the leather gently, and do not scrub vigorously with soap and water. For more information, please see your warranty card, or contact a Circle Y representative!
