Equestrian trail riding is a specialty recreational activity that connects the horse and the rider. Horses on trails must be able to endure long travel distances. Also, horses must exhibit a calm and obedient demeanor, such that they are not startled by wildlife. Trail riding with your horse takes a lot of hard work and conditioning. The trail can be a hard place both physically and mentally for you and your horse. It’s important to note that you should expect at least a month of conditioning with your horse before hitting the trail. However, there are some breeds that take only a few weeks of preparation.

If you’re going to hit the rugged trail, consider a Circle Y saddle that offers a lot of flexibility for maneuvering on the trail. You and your horse are going to have to go around trees, rocks, and other trail riding obstacles. The most important aspect of your saddle is its lightweight design. You want the horse to be comfortable and have a saddle that conforms to its back. In addition, Circle Y saddles offer neoprene fillers that will absorb shocks and bumps to keep both rider and horse comfortable on the trail.

By incorporating Circle Y Softee fender leathers and seat jockey, Circle Y makes saddles that are ready to ride without long breaking-in periods. The Circle Y Flex-Lite trail riding saddles are built to fit properly, and to be lightweight and comfortable.

Circle Y has been making saddles since 1960 in Yoakum, Texas. It operated for 40 years under the ownership of the family of founder Leland Tucker. In 2003, the company took on new management and has reestablished the Tuckers’ commitment to saddle design, quality and innovation.

Circle Y’s patented Flex2 tree design allows saddles to fit well on a broad selection of horses, and it is present in many of Circle Y saddles. The Circle Y Softee seat jockey and fender leather minimizes strain to the rider’s knees and ankles and provides a comfortable ride from the outset.

The tradition of designing quality trail riding saddles, ranch work saddles, barrel racing saddles, roping saddles, team penning saddles, and saddles for cutting horses has always been with Circle Y. A Circle Y saddle is the best all around choice for you and the enjoyment of your horse on the trail.
