Fabtron Cross Trail Saddle: Lightweight Versatility with a Connected, Close-Contact Feel
Designed for riders who appreciate both western tradition and English-inspired balance, the Fabtron Cross Trail Saddle delivers lightweight performance with a refined, close-contact ride. Crafted from premium American steer hide leather and built on the proven TrueFit™ tree, this saddle is engineered for comfort, airflow, and rider connection during long trail hours.
A close-cut tunnel skirt promotes cooling airflow along the horse’s spine, while the glove-leather skirt lining makes cleanup quick and hygienic after daily rides. The extra-padded grain-out seat and supportive 5" high-back cantle with Cheyenne roll help keep riders secure and centered, creating a confident, balanced feel from the first mile to the last. Finished with thoughtful details like brass rivets, stainless hardware, and Shenandoah aluminum stirrups, this saddle blends performance with polished craftsmanship.
