Frequently Asked Questions

Is this saddle truly black, or is it brown?

While Cashel officially describes the color as "Black," the saddle is a very deep, rich brown that is almost black. It offers a sophisticated, versatile look that complements a wide range of tack and horse colors.

How do I determine the correct size for myself?

We recommend choosing your saddle size based on rider weight for optimal comfort and fit. Our guidelines are: Large fits riders 140-169 lbs, and X-Large fits riders 170-215 lbs. Selecting the appropriate size ensures you get the most out of your riding experience with your new comfortable treeless saddle.

What types of riding is the Cashel G2 Soft Saddle best suited for?

The G2 Soft Saddle is incredibly versatile and shines in activities like light trail riding, pleasure riding, everyday exercising, and improving rider balance. Its flexible, universal design is often praised for fitting "hard-to-fit" horses and adapting to various conformations, making it a great all-around equestrian trail saddle option.

Will this saddle fit all horse conformations equally well?

While designed for adaptability, the Cashel G2 tends to fit flat-backed horses particularly well due to its treeless nature. Horses with very high withers, highly contoured backs, or extremely wide builds may require careful padding adjustments or may not achieve optimal pressure distribution. We always recommend observing your horse's comfort and fit closely.

Does the G2 Soft Saddle offer a close-contact riding feel?

The G2 Soft Saddle provides a uniquely soft and padded ride, often described as a comfortable hybrid between a bareback pad and a traditional saddle. It enhances rider balance and offers a closer feel of your horse's motion than many traditional saddles. However, riders seeking an ultra-minimalist, extremely close-contact experience might find its ample padding slightly thicker than desired.

What can you tell me about the saddle's stirrups?

The saddle features durable, Western-style stirrups made from a robust plastic material. Please note they may run small for some riders. Adjusting the stirrups while mounted can be challenging. For added versatility, the stirrups are removable, allowing for a comfortable bareback riding option.

Is a saddle pad necessary with the Cashel G2, and what about saddle stability?

Yes, Cashel strongly recommends using a saddle pad with this treeless horse riding saddle to ensure optimal spinal clearance and even pressure distribution. Experimentation with pad thickness may be necessary to achieve the best fit for your horse. Regarding stability, while designed to be secure, some users on wider horses have reported difficulty getting the girth tight enough to prevent slippage. We advise using a high-quality, grippy pad and a properly fitted girth, checking tightness before and during your ride.

How easy is it to care for and maintain the Cashel G2 Soft Saddle?

One of the standout advantages of the G2 Soft Saddle is its remarkably easy maintenance. The synthetic sueded fabric can be simply washed off with water, making cleanup a breeze. This easy-care design ensures your saddle stays looking great with minimal effort, ready for your next adventure.
