Fabtron Mule / Donkey Work & Trail Saddle

Fabtron Mule / Donkey Work & Trail Saddle: Purpose-Built Fit for Mule & Donkey Comfort

Designed specifically for the unique anatomy of mules and donkeys, the Fabtron Mule / Donkey Work & Trail Saddle delivers thoughtful engineering and dependable trail performance. At the core of the design is a rounded, close-contact mule skirt that is split to improve freedom of movement and provide added clearance through the shoulders, hips, and spine—areas where traditional horse saddles often fall short on mules and donkeys.

This saddle is built on Fabtron’s TrueFit™ tree and paired with a special mule/donkey front rig plate with full rear rigging, creating balanced load distribution and improved stability during work or trail riding. Combined with durable Cordura® fenders, a fleece-lined skirt, and secure stainless-steel hardware, this saddle is designed to keep both rider and mule comfortable mile after mile.
