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!

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.

We do often have the saddle combination you want in stock. However we are offering this saddle with the understanding that it will be PRODUCED upon payment. This means there will be 5-8 weeks pass before you RECEIVE your custom built handmade saddle. IF it is not in stock. So the BAD news is there will be a slight delay in receiving your saddle. The GOOD news is that delay is MUCH shorter than any other manufacture of gaited saddles for production. We also GUARANTEE it will be WORTH the wait!

Why get it now? It is really very simple. You can get the best price, and have the opportunity to be one of the first riders in your area to experience the difference of a truly quality saddle for themselves and their horse!
