If you love the security of a Western saddle but struggle with the wide "barrel-like" feel of traditional ranch saddles, the Flex Fit Trail Ranger 1490 is your solution. This is not a roping saddle; it is a piece of precision equipment designed for technical trail riding and vertical biomechanics.

This saddle solves the common complaint of "hip pain" caused by wide-twist Western saddles. The Trail Ranger is built with a narrow twist and a Deep Equitation Seat, which allows your femur to drape vertically rather than being pushed forward into a "chair seat".
