The 2015 Skyhorse Skyrider Western Saddle is an exceptional, handcrafted work of art designed for long-distance trail utility, pleasure riding, and hybrid endurance disciplines. Created individually by the renowned duo Lisa and Loren Skyhorse, the Skyrider model is famous for its signature fiberglass-covered cedar wood tree, which incorporates a high-arched gullet to ensure generous clearance over the horse's withers and spine.
 
This specific saddle features a comfortable 15-inch seat packed with 1-inch premium high-density closed-cell foam, completely removing standard pressures for all-day trail comfort. Built with a Wide (w) tree specification, it provides a perfect fit for muscular, rounder, or flat-backed breeds that require extensive shoulder freedom to stretch out without pinching. It is outfitted with Skyhorse's signature multi-position, soft-contact double latigo rigging system which reduces under-leg bulk while dynamically settling into the horse's natural sweet spot. Hand-aligned with genuine sheepskin skirt lining, heavy-duty stainless steel hardware, and premium leather finishes, this saddle offers an elite, balanced close-contact ride.
