Frequently Asked Questions
What size gullet is this draft horse saddle?
This HILASON draft horse saddle has a 9-inch wide gullet, which is wider than a standard western saddle. The extra width gives clearance for draft breeds, draft crosses, mules, and broad-withered horses, spreading rider weight and reducing pressure points across the back for a more comfortable fit.
Will this saddle fit a wide-backed or draft horse?
Yes. The 9-inch wide gullet is designed specifically for draft and wide-backed horses that narrow trees pinch. It suits drafts, draft crosses, heavy quarter horses, and mules. As with any saddle, check your horse's wither and back width against the gullet measurement for the best fit.
Is this draft horse saddle good for trail riding?
Yes. This western saddle is built for trail riding, pleasure riding, ranch work, and endurance riding. The balanced black leather seat and 4.5-inch cantle keep the rider centered for hours, and the full grain harness leather holds up to seasons of hard trail use.
Is the saddle made from genuine leather and is it handmade?
Yes. The saddle is crafted from full grain harness leather with a hand-tooled floral border and a smooth black leather seat. Every HILASON saddle is hand made one at a time by saddle craftsmen, which is why the tooling and finish carry that handmade look.
What seat sizes are available and what comes with the saddle?
This draft horse saddle is available in 15, 16, 17, and 18 inch seats. It weighs about 23 lbs and ships with matching front and rear cinch straps, so you have the core rigging needed to tack up. Check product details for exact specifications on your chosen size.
