Product Details
Circle Y Nikki Reed Bayou Solstice Flex2 Trail Saddle 1686
Follow the Light
Some rides begin with a destination. Others begin with a feeling.
Inspired by golden hour, open landscapes, and the quiet moments that remind us to slow down, the Bayou Solstice brings a fresh perspective to western tradition. Rich roughout leather, a moss suede seat, and exclusive Soleil conchos inspired by BaYou with Love create a look grounded in nature and unmistakably refined.
Built on Circle Y's trusted Flex2® tree, the Bayou Solstice features a shorter, more substantial horn and a moderate 4-inch cantle. Its balanced design encourages confidence without compromising comfort, making it a natural choice for exploring trails, schooling in the arena, or simply saying yes when someone asks, "Want to go for a ride?"
For riders who find beauty in simplicity and believe every ride is an opportunity to reconnect.
Made for the Lifestyle Rider
Natural textures, thoughtful details, and trusted Circle Y construction come together in a saddle designed for riders who embrace every opportunity to ride.
Moss Suede Seat
The moss suede seat offers a naturally secure feel while adding an organic touch that complements the saddle's nature-inspired design.
Comfortable Flex2® Design
Circle Y's Flex2® Will James tree supports a lightweight, balanced ride designed to move naturally with horse and rider.
Signature Soleil Conchos
Exclusive conchos inspired by Nikki Reed's BaYou with Love jewelry bring distinctive character and a refined, nature-inspired finish.

Western Saddle Seat Size Calculator
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.

Highly recommend!! Employees are very patient, knowledgeable and helpful, especially Josh! Very reasonably priced saddles and tack. Their trade in program is so seamless and easy!! Very fast shipping! Can’t recommend them more!
Customer service was top-notch! Super responsive in helping us pick out and design a semi-custom Dakota saddle for my daughter. Ordered it on October 29th and just happened to get it delivered on December 24th, right in time for Christmas! I would highly recommend Horse Saddle Shop to anyone looking for a new saddle!
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!
