Just like the Mounted Shooter Saddle, the Mounted Shooter II is made in the traditional time honored way, using a rawhide covered wood tree and leather ground work over a tin seat strainer. This saddle brings together a great combination of qualities needed in today's mounted shooting competition. It is very durable, constructed with select 13-15oz. leather over a Steele Saddle Tree, LLC tree with stainless steel hardware. Sam Stagg rigging with leather covered stainless steel dees. A unique combination of period correct styling with today's comfort allow us to offer you a saddle with the authentic look you're after and the feel of a competition saddle.
