Weight: 28lbThe B-Light Trail Saddle is made in the traditional time honored way, using a wood tree and leather ground work over a tin seat strainer. The sheer simplicity of this saddle is it’s real beauty. No gimmicks here; just an honest-to-goodness , hand- made saddle with no short cuts.
- Tree: The B-Light Trail Tree is made of Southern Yellow Pine and covered in a single, hand-laid layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth. It is manufactured exclusively for us by Steele Saddle Tree, LLC.
