Stonewall Saddles

[Rusty15]

I’ve eyeballed these on and off over the years and I’m at that point again where I really want one. My horse has KS and I manage it but he has his limitations. We mostly putz around on trails, dressage, and mounted shooting but don’t compete in anything, for various reasons.

The light weight is EXTREMELY attractive to me because I want to keep as much weight as possible off his back. I also like the fitting system, seeing as I would have an easier time finding a unicorn than a saddle fitter in my state. Anyone who has ridden in one, do they let you ride in a classic “ear, hip, heel” position? I do NOT like having my feet out in front of me. Any other commentary on these saddles is much appreciated!

I have a Stonewall and yes they do have a great position for you to ride correct. And yes they are very light weight. The seat is very comfortable too.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I need to get one. …

I have one…I love it. I find that I can sit classically and am not forced onto my pockets like so many “western” style saddles. I find mine very secure for all terrain also. My horse needs the girth position adjusted also for his conformation and this saddle allows me to do that easily. We’d like to get another for my husband.

Loved mine, only had to sell as the tree size didn’t work for the new horse.

I’ve never ridden in one, but have been reading on a blog from a lady who rides endurance and she absolutely swears by them.

I have one. It’s comfortable for me, the way the pommel and cantle are formed gives a great sense of security. Alas, I no longer have a horse that it fits…too narrow for any of my barrel-shaped horses. Along the same lines, I have a McClellan (US Cavalry) saddle which is great for me, not for my horses. I think the McClellan served as inspiration for the Stonewall.
