EASY RIDER

For years people have settled for the old traditional cowboy saddles and accepted the aches and pains that usually go with them out of necessity.  Don't get us wrong, these saddles served their purpose well.  People use to ride their horses everyday for transportation, work, and enjoyment.  These people stayed in condition as did their horses.  The times were tough and they accepted what was available and affordable.

The times have changed.  We still work hard but we have more time for relaxation and, as a result, most of us aren't as physically conditioned as our parents and grandparents were.  Our work and other commitments consume most of our time and, therefore, the majority of us are weekend riders.

My family and I enjoy camping and trail riding.  We spend many hours in the saddle on weekends and holidays riding our gaited horses.  We ride for pleasure and enjoy discovering new trails and meeting new people.  It is not fun or enjoyable to ride all day just to be stiff and sore the next morning!

We build Easy Rider saddles that have been very popular in our line of custom saddles.  Our Easy Rider features forward hung stirrups for people that spend a lot of time in the saddle and just enjoy the ultimate comfort in a western saddle.  We and many others in the United States are now riding our Easy Rider styles of western saddles.  Our Easy Rider saddles have been designed to center the rider in a 5/8" deep cushioned pocket with their legs out in front of them (as the majority of people are 98% of the time while sitting).  The Easy Rider saddles have a deep seat that you can sit down in instead of on top of which gives the rider extra security, comfort, and closer contact with their horse.  All our Easy Rider saddles feature forward hung stirrups and 3 way in-skirt rigging in the front for more adjustment which enables the saddles to fit different breeds of horses and allows a smoother swing of the fenders for a nonrestricted leg movement.  Al our saddles have pretrained fenders that are already twisted back to make it easier on your knees and ankles.  The Easy Rider saddles will be broke in after the first day of riding!!!

No pain - no gain?  Maybe in some sports, but in horseback riding you now have an alternative for the rider and horse.  Try the Easy Rider style of western saddles from Sugar Creek Custom Saddlery.  YOU AND YOUR HORSE WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!!!
