Abetta Original Round Skirt Saddle 20501
A lightweight synthetic western saddle with Abetta’s proven nylon construction, Acu-Suede seat, and Poly-Solid quarter horse tree.
The Abetta Original Round Skirt Saddle 20501 is built on the time-proven design that helped establish Abetta as a benchmark in synthetic western saddles. Its rugged 1000 denier nylon outer shell is layered over shock-absorbing foam to create a saddle that is lightweight, durable, and easy to care for without giving up a traditional western riding feel.
A Poly-Solid quarter horse tree, durable nylon rigging, stainless steel dees, and a comfortable Acu-Suede seat make this a practical option for riders who want a dependable saddle for everyday trail riding and general western use. The round skirt profile helps keep the overall look compact while maintaining the familiar Abetta fit and feel.
Lightweight Synthetic Build
1000 denier nylon over shock-absorbing foam delivers a durable, weather-friendly saddle that stays lighter than many traditional leather models.
Comfortable Everyday Seat
The Acu-Suede seat adds a secure feel in the saddle, while the foam-backed construction helps cushion the ride for daily use.
Trail-Ready Hardware
7/8 nylon rigging with stainless steel dees and 2" bell stirrups with no-slip tread support practical everyday western riding.
Easy Care Convenience
Designed for low maintenance, this saddle can be washed off and left to dry, making it a strong choice for riders who value simple upkeep.

Please try our new seat sizing tool to find your size
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:
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!
