Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the saddles made?
Our saddles are proudly built in California USA.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes.
What pad should I use with the Living Bar Saddle?
Short answer: This saddle doesn't require any particular pad, though we like to see something with about ½” of shock absorbing foam.
Long answer: Saddle pad thickness affects the amount of wither clearance for a particular horse and we want the rider as close to the horse as possible while maintaining adequate wither clearance. So choose ½ to ¾ inch thick pad for your averaged body horse and more for a narrow horse and less for the well fleshed horse.
What type of cinch can I use? Can I use an English girth?
All types of cinches can be accommodated - options include English billets or western latigos.
What length cinch should I get?
An average horse typically needs a 26” cinch measured tip to tip.
How wide is the stirrup strap?
The stirrup strap is 1½” wide.
Are you still making the Stonewall Classic and Sport Saddles? I have a Classic/Sport saddle I want refurbished.
We are no longer making our Sport and Classic models. We still provide replacement parts for them and support our traditional riders.
Is this a flexible bar or treeless saddle?
No. There is no flexing or bending in our new patent pending technology. The Living Bar® is a segmented bar and each rigid segment teeter totters independent of its neighbor until it lays against the horse and distributes its shared load while morphing in 3D shape to match the horse is rests upon.
