Fabtron Sonoma Trail Saddle: Traditional Craftsmanship with Close-Contact Trail Performance
Built for riders who value classic western craftsmanship and dependable trail performance, the Fabtron Sonoma Trail Saddle reflects Fabtron’s long-standing American-made quality. Premium American steer hide leather, hand-applied rope border tooling, and a contoured close-contact skirt come together to create a saddle that feels secure, balanced, and responsive on the trail.
A double-padded, grain-out glove-leather seat provides lasting comfort for long rides, while hand-stitched cantle details and polished leather edging give the saddle a clean, professional finish. In-skirt rigging, stainless-steel hardware, and rawhide-laced stirrups round out a lightweight, trail-ready design that’s built to perform mile after mile.
