Crest
Ridge Saddlery® Presents “The Guffey,” the flagship of
our Ardent Series Saddles that are designed specifically for avid equestrians
who spend many hours in the saddle and on the trail. “The Guffey”
is a Beautiful Hand Crafted Steer Hide Trail Saddle that will serve the
rider well for many years to come.
This Saddle
is made on an Old Timer, Slick Swell, A- Fork, J-Bar tree consisting of
a Wooden Tree that is wrapped in Fiberglass for extra durability and this
tree can be ordered in a Gaited Horse Version, Mule Only Version and additionally
we do produce a tree that is suitable for both the Gaited Horse and Mule.
The
Guffey has a Slick Swell and a Deep Seat with a 5.5 inch High Cantle.
All Ardent Series saddles come equipped with a Crupper Ring on the back
of the Cantle. This whole saddle is as tough and durable as the name
sounds and is very well balanced no matter what sort of terrain you will
be riding it in.,
To prevent
elbow chaffing on your horse our rigging in this saddle is set at 7/8 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.
The
Guffey is simply beautiful Old Timer saddle on an either/or Gaited
Horse/ Mule tree and as the slogan reads "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.
These 15, 16, & 17 inch saddles are built on an Old Timer Tree, with
a 9.5” Slick “A” Swell, 5.5” Cantle rise, and a real Sheepskin Lining.
It features 7/8 hanging dee rigging that is connected directly to the tree
that is far superior to in skirt rigging that attaches directly to leather
only. This saddle is built on our regular size tree with a 6 inch Gullet
and the tree is warranted for a full 5 years. Each saddle has Blevins Buckles,
Leather Near-Side and Off-Side Billets, and Stainless Steel Hardware. The
skirts of this saddle are 24” and weigh between 29-32 pounds depending
on seat size and features. Look at the photos and you will see the
superior craftsmanship on our new “Guffeys.”

The Guffy 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!
Guffey in Light Oil Finish with a "Burst Pattern" Seat.
The seat is a center pocket seat to keep the rider in the perfect place
in the seat at all times.
The ultimate trail saddle for comfort and fit to the horse. Extra padding
in the seat and a 5.5" cantle to give the rider a very comfortable ride
for all day!
Plenty of room for even the highest withers! 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!
Close up of swell on Slick Seat Guffey
Crupper Ring on back of cantle is a nice added feature.
Stirrups are free hanging, so you can easily place
your feet in the centered or forward position.
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 saddle weighs
approximately 29-32 lbs. so anyone can saddle up the horse. 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!
Available in in Black,
Mahogany,
Brown
and Light Oil.
