Why do some people choose the Endurance leather option? While suede will give the rider maximum seat security, some people do not favor an all suede saddle preferring the extra movement in the seat that the endurance leather allows the rider. Also, suede will
eventually loose its texture and will look shiny in places especially where there is the most friction. Also if you anticipate riding in rainy weather, suede will absorb the water whereas the endurance leather will not soak up the water. Water just runs right off the Endurance leather. This leather is very easy to clean and just needs a light leather conditioner. It will stay
looking new for a very long time.

Common question - What is the difference between the Barrel saddle, Trail saddle and the Schooling and Training saddle?

Answer: The pommel and cantle on the Trail Riders are about one inch lower than those on the Barrel Racers and the Schooling and Training saddles. Also, the cantle angles back more on the Trail saddle, whereas the Barrel racer cantle sits more upright at a steeper angle and the seat is
more "scooped out" than the cantle on the trail riders.
