What kind of sculpting do you want for your seat?
- The Standard seat, 1/2″ of neoprene foam that is sculpted and layered to fit you based on our discussions when planning your custom saddle.
- The Soft seat, 1″ of upholstery foam and neoprene foam that is sculpted and layered to fit you. Providing the comfort that you need where you need it. This also reduces the seat size by about a 1/2″ so keep that mind.
- The Hybrid seat, a mix of the two seats above. The soft seat is made where your seat-bones make contact with the saddle, while leaving very little padding on the cantle of the saddle. Making it feel like the softness of the soft seat and the roominess of the standard seat.
How do you want your saddle rigged? You can put whatever style rigging on your custom saddle because the ring of the center-fire adjustable rigging can be fitted with any of the following.

Do you like changing your pads up regularly? Not sure you love the idea of Sox all the time? Then you may want to upgrade your panels to Leather Encased so that they look less “industrial”, like the standard encasements look. You will need to make sure that you give your saddle an atomic wedgie front to back when you saddle up, but leather encased panels give your saddle a less “panel saddle” look.
Of course you can still use Sox with your leather encased panels, getting the best of both worlds. Leather encased panels are and upgrade, but well worth it if you want to have a lot of options on how your saddle and pads look.
- Standard Encasements
- Leather Encased Panels (if tooling is chosen as an upgrade the leather panel encasements are also tooled.)
Stirrups are something that I don’t carry a lot of choices. Mainly because there are so many choices out there for the variety of reasons that people have ankle, knee and hip pain, that I prefer to talk to you about how you ride. Then we can discuss if you want just a standard stirrup whether it is western or english and if you want or need something special we can look for that specifically. These are what I offer.
- Leather Bell Western Stirrup (Standard)
- English Iron (Standard)
- Leather covered Endurance Stirrup (Upgrade)
