Saddle Fitting for
Gaited Horses and Mules

Proper
saddle fit is essential for gaited horses and
mules.
A poor fitting saddle will cause your gaited horse or
mule to
quickly develop a sore back, making it difficult to
maintain a smooth gait. Our
“How to Measure” provides a simple but effective way
for us to determine which of our over 18
saddle trees will best fit your gaited horse or
mule. We’re here to help you find the gaited horse
or
mule saddle that fits!

Crest Ridge Saddlery offers saddle models
especially designed for gaited horses and gaited mules. With our ever expanding selection of built saddle trees, we have a saddle that will
fit your gaited horse or mule. We invite you to
compare our selection of
gaited horse saddles,
mule
saddles,
saddle
pads and matching
accessories with the
much more limited offerings of our competitors.
We can also custom build a saddle personalized to
satisfy your specific requirements.
Crest Ridge Saddlery offers
saddles and
tack perfect for
western trail riders, endurance riders and hunters.
Our high quality materials and superb craftsmanship will
provide you years of trouble free service.
We proudly make our saddles in the USA.
Specifically designed and built with the avid or
professional gaited horse and mule rider in
mind!
Everything we sell is backed by our passion for
excellence in customer service. Our service is
just beginning when you buy a gaited horse saddle or any
other product directly from us. Our customers’
testimonials are our best reference.
Our customers have found Crest Ridge
saddles to be ideal
for Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters,
Rocky Mountain Horses, Paso Finos, Icelandic Horses,
Racking Horses, American Saddlebreds and many other
gaited horses. Our large selection of custom
designed saddle trees allows us to better fit saddles
for all of the gaited horse breeds and gaited mules.
Expert Saddle Fitting is the Crest
Ridge Difference

Proper
saddle fit doesn’t happen, it's an art and science
that we’ve learned through years of custom saddle making
and leading trail rides for thousands of customers
through the Ozark National Forest. Our
custom
saddles are built on our own trees, not commercially
purchased trees. Our center balanced trees put you
in the proper equitation alignment. The flare tree of
each allows the gaited horse a non-interfering, equal
weight bearing foundation to carry the rider for long
hours. We invite you to see for yourself why this will
be the last saddle you own! If you would like Debra to
conduct a saddle fitting clinic for your riding group or
organization, just call or drop her an
e-mail for more information.
Our saddles and matching
accessories provide you a
one-stop shop for gaited horse saddles, mule saddles and
tack. We especially recommend our
Crest Ridge
saddle pads which provide the
ultimate saddle pad fit for your gaited horse or mule.
Our custom made gaited horse saddles combined with our
wool felt pads provide the ultimate in comfort for you
and your hose.
Free 7-day trial period for gaited horse saddle or mule
saddles!

Your satisfaction is guaranteed! When you
receive your new
gaited horse or mule saddle,
simply follow the instructions on our
Checking Saddle Fit
page. Then be sure
to send us the requested information within the
allotted time and we will
do everything possible to make sure your saddle
fits perfectly. If within 7 days we cannot achieve a
saddle fit to your satisfaction,
you may return the saddle in its original clean
condition to us for a full refund of the
purchase price. Please see our
Policies for complete details.

This business and
web site are very much an extension and
reflection of our lives. The saddles offered
here were developed and selected based on our
many years of experience in the horse industry
with many hours in the saddle!

Testimonials:
I hemmed and hawed about going with a custom
western saddle. I'm riding a quarter horse
right now and what if I sell him when I'm ready
to get my next gaited horse, then I'm out the
money of the saddle. I ended up buying a
saddle from Crest Ridge Saddlery. The
saddle is a 16W, so if I ever had to sell it,
it's likely to fit another 16W horse. Yet
it is customized for me and I know that it fits
my horse. In fact, it fits me so well, that if
I ever find that it doesn't fit my horse, or I
sell this horse, I will just have to buy another
horse that fits this saddle. That is how
much I love the fit of this saddle.
Debra is a pleasure to talk
with. I really loved the look of the Wade style
saddles, but when I sent in pictures of my horse
with measurements, she thought he would go
better in a Sentry. Now, if I had just
gone with an in stock wade saddle from another
company, I believe in time I would be buying
again. I got to pick out the color of my
saddle and the type of stirrups that I wanted
and it was hand made by Amish and delivered in 4
weeks. Seriously, this is a great saddle
at a great price. If you look at other
brands, like Circle Y, you cannot get the same
quality for this price. This saddle puts me in
a nicely centered riding position. Due to
all the flooding here, I've only done a few
short test rides, but I am loving this saddle.
Here are pictures of my Crest
Ridge Sentry saddle on my quarter horse.
The pictures do not show how beautiful in person
this saddle really is. And little details,
like the quality of the quick snaps on the reins
is truly impressive. Debbie F.

I will also add that one of my problems
in riding the QH in my Circle Y was my
back would hurt after I rode.
Well, after the three rides I've
had this week, my back does NOT hurt.
Love, love, love this saddle.

Debra, Best of business to you at the upcoming
Minnesota Equifest! You fitted Goliath for a
saddle that I purchased 2 yrs ago(?) and it is
the BEST saddle I own. I own a Parelli saddle
and find myself repeatedly using my Crest Ridge
saddle over all my other options (4 total)
regularly. It is well made and comfortable for
both Goliath and me and at half the cost a great
investment in these difficult times! Keep up the
good work! Patti Wisler
