Round Rock Gaited Trail Saddle – Short Skirt, Padded Seat & Adjustable Rigging

Built for riders who enjoy the smooth, distinctive way gaited horses travel, the Round Rock Gaited Trail Saddle brings together a gaited-specific tree, supportive seating, practical trail features, and classic Western detailing. It is designed to provide a balanced and comfortable platform for riders who spend long hours exploring trails while maintaining a refined traditional appearance.

At the core of the saddle is a High Horse DURAhide Gaited tree, developed specifically for gaited horses. This foundation is paired with a 25-inch skirt and a 9-inch skirt drop, creating a relatively compact profile that works well for trail riding. The shorter skirt gives the saddle a practical footprint while keeping the overall design visually streamlined.

Rider comfort is supported by a double-padded seat, giving the rider additional cushioning during extended time in the saddle. The 4-inch cantle provides supportive seating without creating an excessively deep riding position, while the pre-turned fenders are shaped to encourage a more natural leg position and help reduce fatigue on longer rides.

The saddle also features adjustable-position in-skirt rigging, allowing the cinch placement to be modified for a more suitable and balanced setup. A rear angled dee adds another point of support and helps riders achieve a secure configuration according to their horse and preferred riding style.

Trail practicality is built into the design through rear conchos and saddle strings. These provide convenient attachment points for carrying selected trail equipment, making the saddle useful for riders who like to spend extended periods away from the arena.

Visually, the saddle combines traditional Western character with functional trail construction. 3/4 floral tooling, silver-plated conchos, and the choice of rich black or walnut leather create an attractive finish without overwhelming the practical design. The silver hardware adds a polished accent while the protective finish helps make the decorative components suitable for regular use.

With an approximate weight of 30 lb, a 13-inch swell, and a 3¼-inch neck by 2¼-inch cap horn, the Round Rock provides the substantial feel expected from a traditional Western trail saddle while incorporating features specifically intended for gaited horses.
