Product Details
Abetta Draft Comfort Trail Saddle 20551
Lightweight synthetic draft saddle with an 8" gullet, Super Cushion memory foam seat, Cheyenne roll cantle, and trail gear attachments.
The Abetta Draft Comfort Trail Saddle 20551 combines Abetta’s durable synthetic construction with a tree configuration developed for broader draft-type builds. Wide, angled draft bars and an 8" gullet provide a roomier foundation, while the lightweight nylon construction makes the saddle easier to handle than many traditional draft saddles.
A rugged 1000 denier nylon shell covers shock-absorbing foam, while the extra-thick Super Cushion memory foam seat adds rider comfort for longer trail rides. Stainless steel dees, extra-long saddle strings, front and rear tie-down rings, and coachman loops provide convenient places to secure trail gear.
Draft Horse Configuration
Wide, angled draft bars and an 8" gullet create a broader saddle foundation intended for draft horse builds.
Super Cushion Comfort
The extra-thick memory foam seat and shock-absorbing foam foundation provide a deeply cushioned ride for extended trail use.
Trail Gear Attachments
Extra-long saddle strings, stainless steel dees, tie-down rings, and coachman loops provide multiple attachment points for riding gear.
Endurance Trail Setup
Wide 4" endurance stirrups with padding provide a broad, supportive foot platform for longer hours in the saddle.

Calculated Seat Size Shown Below
Please select your body shape:
Do you prefer a tighter Barrel Fit?
Are you fitting for a Tucker Saddle?
Calculated Seat Size:
There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.
Things to Consider
- Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
16.5” Tucker = 16” normally
- Barrel riders usually take 1” less on the seat size
16” Trail Rider = 15” Barrel Rider
- Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they don’t slide around
16” is for most men, 15” for most women
- Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5”) make the seat sizes feel smaller
Trail Saddle with 5” cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5” cantle
- English Saddles don’t convert exactly but often are 2” bigger
18” English = 16” Western
- Riders with inseams under 30” or 5’ tall and under often need custom cut fenders
Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well
Checking the Fit
- General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.

Worked with Josh on multiple occasions. Fast response, thorough on answers, hassle free. This place was great! Came back to buy a second saddle from them as well. This will be my first place to look when I need something and even for my next saddle.
Extremely good to deal with very helpful. I just can’t recommend these guys enough. Considering I am in Australia they were extremely good to deal with very helpful I recommend them 150% saddle was packed well and it’s beautiful very happy customer 5 start rating hands down.
After so much searching and being nervous about ordering a saddle online. I picked up the phone and called the Horse Saddle Shop to ask a few questions about a used saddle that was on their website. They were so nice and helpful. I ordered my very lightly used Circle Y saddle and a new saddle pad. It arrived very quickly. Only a few days. I LOVE my new saddle. In great condition and rides great! I would highly recommend using them for your tack needs. I know I will be in the future!
