Fabtron Gaited Cross Trail Saddle

Fabtron Gaited Cross Trail Saddle: Balanced Comfort for Gaited Horses with a Close-Contact Feel

Designed for riders who move easily between Western and English influences, the Fabtron Gaited Cross Trail Saddle delivers lightweight performance and thoughtful ergonomics for gaited horses. Built on Fabtron’s TrueFit™ tree with Full-Quarter Gaited Horse Bars, this saddle supports proper movement and balance while maintaining rider comfort over long trail miles.

A close-cut tunnel skirt promotes airflow and helps relieve spinal pressure, while the glove-leather skirt lining makes cleanup quick and simple after everyday rides. The extra-padded grain-out seat, pleasure-style horn, and rear rigging with center-fire option provide a secure, centered riding position—making this saddle a confident choice for riders who value both comfort and control.

Trail-Ready Hardware & Details
Stainless-steel dees and screws, brass rivets, a rear crupper dee, and a four-piece saddle string set make this saddle ready for real-world riding.
