This round skirted saddle is ideal for trail riding. Beautiful hand tooling and contrasting black seat and strings make the 1750 Julie Goodnight Wind River a truly gorgeous saddle. With the Flex2® tree technology, it conforms to the horse’s back while providing rider weight distribution and is lightweight.

Flex2® skirts have a shock-absorbing neoprene filler for the horse and rider’s comfort; skirt has a close contact design for precise cueing, a Slip-Not™ skirt liner for easy care with XPG™ gel bar pad for your horse’s comfort, Impact Foam seat with narrow twist and broad pocket for all-day comfort, Softee® seat jockeys and fenders provide a “ready to ride” saddle to minimize rider’s knee and ankle strain because they are broke in right from the start. ErgoBalance stirrups™ and pre-twisted stirrup leathers reduce knee and ankle fatigue while promoting balanced riding.

“All the features of the Monarch, with a round skirt to suit close coupled horses. The Flex2® tree allows for plenty of rider support and weight distribution. I am close to the horse in just the right spot on his back for a balanced ride and good control. These are high-quality saddles at a great price.” – Julie Goodnight
