Traditional Big Horn Western saddle featuring a 15" seat and Regular Quarter Horse Bar (RQHB) tree. This is an older Big Horn saddle with classic Western styling and a practical design suitable for trail riding, pleasure riding, and general Western use.
 
The Regular Quarter Horse Bar tree provides a more moderate fit profile than a typical Full Quarter Horse Bar saddle. This configuration may be a good option for horses with more defined withers and narrower-to-moderate backs that do not require the additional width and flatter profile commonly associated with FQHB saddles.
