Is this Hilason saddle made from genuine leather?

For barrel-specific designs, check our barrel saddle collection.

What horse types does this 7-inch gullet fit?

The 7-inch gullet with full bar tree accommodates most horse types, including quarter horses, gaited horses, and wide-backed horses. If your horse has an exceptionally wide or narrow build, measure the withers width or contact customer service for fit guidance.

How do I care for the tooled leather on this saddle?

Clean the tooled leather with a soft, damp cloth and mild saddle soap after use. Allow it to air-dry away from direct heat. The full grain harness leather will naturally soften and darken with age and use, improving the seat feel and appearance over time.
