S2 DP Saddlery Quantum Western Saddle 1215-9300 Free Girth
Distinctive Western Dressage Styling with Havana Antique Leather, Full Floral Tooling, and UF / VSK Adjustable Tree
The S2 DP Saddlery Quantum Western Saddle 1215-9300 brings together western dressage design and detailed leather craftsmanship in a beautifully appointed saddle. Rich Havana Antique leather is complemented by contrasting Brown Nubuck seating surfaces and Havana Roughout seat jockeys. Elaborate floral tooling adds distinction to the swell, cantle, fenders, and western dressage skirt, with black background dye accentuating the carved designs. Full BT6240 border tooling and a Cheyenne roll cantle with silverlace complete the elegant western presentation.
Designed with a Western Dressage Seat, this Quantum Western features the UF / VSK adjustable tree in size 2-WD. Brown Nappa panels with a 3-inch channel and medium flocking provide a defined panel configuration. Short, non-set-back fenders pair with Dark Wood Visalia stirrups featuring Havana leather treads. A distinctive leather horn, stainless steel hardware, footman loops, and four latigo strings round out the saddle's carefully coordinated appointments. A free girth is included.
Western Dressage Comfort
The Western Dressage Seat is finished in supple Brown Nubuck leather, offering a contrasting texture against the Havana Antique body. Short fenders in a non-set-back configuration are paired with Dark Wood Visalia stirrups and matching Havana treads. The overall design combines western saddle styling with a dedicated western dressage seating configuration.
Adjustable Tree and Panels
Equipped with the DP Saddlery UF / VSK adjustable tree in size 2-WD, this saddle offers an adjustable tree configuration for fitting versatility. Brown Nappa panels feature a 3-inch channel and medium flocking. Proper tree adjustment and panel compatibility should be evaluated for the individual horse.
Leather and Craftsmanship
Havana Antique leather provides a warm, traditional finish, while Havana Roughout seat jockeys add texture and contrast. Full BT6240 border tooling frames intricate floral patterns on the swell, cantle, fenders, and western dressage skirt. Black background dye emphasizes the floral designs, creating depth against the richly colored leather.
Western Design Details
A leather horn with a 3-inch top plate and extra-thick leather construction provides a distinctive finishing detail. The Cheyenne roll cantle is enhanced with silverlace trim, while stainless steel hardware, footman loops, and four latigo strings complete the western appointments. A DP Saddlery silver maker plate identifies the saddle.

Additional Saddle Details
The Quantum Western 1215-9300 is distinguished by its carefully coordinated leatherwork. Havana Antique surfaces contrast with the softer texture of the Brown Nubuck seat and Havana Roughout jockeys. Detailed flower tooling, darkened backgrounds, and decorative border patterns give this saddle a sophisticated, traditional western appearance.
The UF / VSK adjustable tree provides fitting flexibility, while the Brown Nappa panels, medium flocking, and 3-inch channel define the saddle's panel configuration. The western dressage seat, short non-set-back fenders, decorative Cheyenne roll cantle, and wood Visalia stirrups complete this individual build. A free girth is included with the saddle.
DP Western Saddles – Information & Options
Use this guide to understand the main choices on a DP western saddle so you can match the tree, seat, leather, and rigging to your horse and how you ride.
Key Technical Options
Saddle Trees
Wooden Trees (rawhide or fiberglass covered)
- Traditional, rigid tree.
- Suitable for reining, cutting, barrel racing, ranch work, and more.
Pro-Flex Trees (fixed width)
- Rigid fork in several sizes (e.g. S, M, L, XL).
- Designed for many western disciplines, but not recommended for roping.
Flex-Fit Trees (adjustable width)
- Fork width adjusted with an Allen wrench system.
- Semi-flexible bars designed to move with the horse.
- Excellent for fine-tuning fit; not recommended for roping.
Ask which tree styles are available on the specific model you’re looking at and which is best for your horse’s back shape and discipline.
Fender Lengths
Fenders are measured from the middle of the seat to the stirrup tread.
- Short: approx. 70 cm / 27.5"
- Medium: approx. 77 cm / 30.3"
- Long: approx. 84 cm / 33"
- Other extended lengths may also be available (e.g. 88 cm, 93 cm, 101 cm).
The right length keeps your leg underneath you, improves balance, and prevents ankle and knee strain.
Seat & Equitation Options
Standard Western Seat
- Classic western profile and feel.
- Great for trail riding and everyday use.
Equitation Seat & Fenders (on selected Flex-Fit models)
- Deeper, straighter seat inspired by dressage saddles.
- Equitation fenders position the leg more directly under the rider.
- Ideal if you want more support and a show-ready leg position.
Leather & Materials
Main Saddle Leather
- High-quality vegetable-tanned leather.
- Multiple color choices available.
- Natural markings (subtle scars, small tone differences) are normal and part of real leather.
Seat Leathers
- Nappa Leather – soft, lightly textured, comfortable right away.
- Nubuck / Aspen Leather – velvet-like, “rough-out” feel for extra grip.
- Some models offer special colors or patterns as an upgrade.
Trim & Decorative Options
- Rawhide accents, silver or braided lacing.
- Decorative stitching, spots, crystals, and colored piping on certain models.
Not all trims are available on every model—check the individual saddle description to see which options apply.
Rigging Options
Rigging describes how the cinch straps attach the saddle to the horse and where the cinch sits.
- In-skirt C-Ring rigging – rings are built into the skirt for closer contact.
- Double or three-way rigging – allows positions such as 7/8, 3/4, or 1/2.
The right rigging depends on your horse’s build and your discipline. Ask which rigging choices come on your preferred model.
Tooling & Seat Shapes
Tooling Styles
- Border tooling – clean decorative edging along the saddle.
- Basket tooling – classic woven pattern for a traditional western look.
- Some models offer partial or full tooling coverage.
Seat Shape Options (vary by model)
- Split seat
- 3/4 seat
- Bicycle seat
- Full seat
- Inlay seat
Seat shape affects how the saddle feels and looks—consider whether you prefer a more open seat for freedom of movement or a more secure, “locked-in” feel.
Quick Reference
Use this side as a quick checklist when you’re picking out or custom-ordering a DP western saddle.
Tree: Wooden · Pro-Flex · Flex-Fit
Seat: Standard or Equitation style
Fenders: Short · Medium · Long · Extra long
Leather: Nappa · Nubuck/Aspen · Special colors
Rigging: In-skirt · 7/8 · 3/4 · 1/2 (varies by model)
Look: Border or basket tooling · Seat shape · Trim options
If you’re unsure, start with how you ride (trail, performance, ranch, show) and your horse’s back type, then narrow down tree and rigging first. Seats, fenders, and tooling come next.
Good Questions to Ask
- Which tree style is best for my horse’s back and my discipline?
- Can I adjust the tree width later (Flex-Fit) if my horse changes condition?
- What fender length do you recommend for my leg length?
- Is this rigging position a good match for my horse’s girth area?
- Which seat leather and shape will give me the security or freedom I want?
- Which tooling and trim options are available on this exact model?

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!
