Here is quick explanation on how to measure...Get a coat hanger, straighten it out, cut it 16 inches. Now on the wire measure 8 inches and make a mark there with a magic marker. Then where the 8 mark is bend it over your horses wither so that the 8 inch mark is on top and bend downward so that the wire is right where you saddle would be, Make sure all of the wire is touching your animals back. Now then remove the wire. Measure the distance straight across, between the 2 ends. This is the measurement you need to send us!

These are all Sonata saddles, you can find MORE INFORMATION HERE about the details on the Crusade Series.

Crest Ridge Saddlery Presents® “The Crusade,” a wonderful addition to our Ardent Series Saddles that are designed specifically for avid equestrians who spend many hours in the saddle and on the trail.  “The Crusade” is a Beautiful Hand Crafted Steer Hide Endurance Style Trail Saddle that will serve the rider well for many years to come.

The Crusade is an excellent choice for the endurance or trail rider looking for reliable and attractive equipment. Both saddle and accessories feature top quality leather and innovative design.

With its superb balance and comfortable, slightly deeper seat the Crusade endurance saddle is ideal for trails and endurance riding or everyday pleasure riding. Recessed stirrups prevent bulk under the leg and allow a more natural line from hip to heel. The Crusade features fine quality leather and a 3.75" Cantle rise for comfort during long days in the saddle. The saddle also features multiple Rings for convenience.

Made with the top quality leather, 100% handcrafted and stitched with care.

To prevent elbow chaffing on your horse our rigging in this saddle is set at ¾ Hanging Dee on the front, and Drop Rigging on the back. Hanging Dee rigging is the most durable for trail riding because the dee hangs and both ends of leather are fastened directly to the tree. Each saddle has Blevins Buckles, Leather Near-Side and Off-Side Billets, and Stainless Steel Hardware.

"This One Fits" and is guaranteed to do so. This steer-hide saddle is hand made in Trenton, Georgia and will last a life time if you simply keep it oiled.

.
Made to free up the shoulders and allow the horse to work freely, pulling equally with the front end to allow him to maintain his signature gait!

The Crusade comes with EXTRA Long tie strings made from the finest latigo leathers available (cut from the backs of hides to give the best strength and resistance to stretching). Firm feel, yet are supple to work with. Good lacing weight and durable. Enough to hold your bed roll, slicker or just about anything and still have plenty of room to tie securely and more to spare!

 

The rigging is hanging dee, (a Dee suspended on a 1/8 inch piece of leather and both ends attach directly to the tree) which is by far more sturdy that inskirt rigging that simply attaches to leather in the skirt. The rigging is set at 7/8 to prevent galling OR with the drop rigging in the rear you can also V Rig it to position the cinch from 7/8 to 5/8  if needed. We have emailing instruction as to how to do this if you happen to be purchaser!
