Fabtron Ultra Mule/Donkey Work & Trail Saddle

Fabtron Ultra Mule & Donkey Saddle: Purpose-Built Fit for Serious Work and Trail Riding

Designed specifically for the unique anatomy of mules and donkeys, the Fabtron Ultra Mule & Donkey Work & Trail Saddle delivers dependable comfort, balance, and durability where standard horse saddles fall short. Built on a Fabtron-engineered TrueFit™ tree, this saddle features a rounded, close-contact split skirt that improves freedom of movement while reducing pressure across the shoulders, hips, and spine—critical for long days of work or extended trail miles.

A grain-out seat with a supportive 5" cantle helps riders stay secure and centered, while full double rigging provides the stability needed for demanding terrain and gear. Hand-tooled trim, rawhide stirrups, and practical features like saddle strings and a rear crupper dee round out a saddle designed for riders who rely on their mule or donkey every day.

Secure, Supportive Ride
A grain-out seat paired with a high 5" cantle provides excellent grip, stability, and back support for long hours in the saddle.

Balanced, Load-Ready Rigging

Durable, Traditional Craftsmanship
Hand-tooled border trim, berry conchos, and rawhide stirrups add classic western character without sacrificing functionality.
