This saddle is amazing for long trail rides! It makes you feel very secure in the saddle on extreme trails rides, TRUST ME.It is also a very confortable ride. I am making it a great package deal, it will include an australian girth and quality saddle pad with white fleece on top and wool underneath. I bought this saddle slightly used and it is still in great condition! I've only used it a few times because, right after I bought it, I switched disciplines. This is a great value!! :) The seat size is a 17 and the gullet measures 6. I am 5'6" and a med. build person and fit very confortable in this saddle. Any questions, just ask!
