Product Details
Fabtron Ultra Mule/Donkey Work & Trail Saddle 7462-7464-7466
Experience unparalleled comfort and performance with the Fabtron Ultra Mule/Donkey Work & Trail Saddle, meticulously crafted for the unique conformation of your equine partner. This saddle is more than just a piece of tack; it's a testament to thoughtful design, starting with the revolutionary Close Contact Rounded Mule Skirt. Split for optimal movement, it liberates your mule or donkey's shoulders, hips, and spine, ensuring a ride that feels as natural as it is comfortable. Coupled with the Special Mule/Donkey rig plate and a robust full Rear Rig, you'll achieve a secure, balanced fit, letting you and your animal tackle any trail or task with confidence.
Beyond its specialized fit, the Fabtron Ultra boasts premium features that elevate your riding experience. A True-Fit by Fabtron tree provides a stable foundation, while the grain-out seat with a 5" cantle offers lasting comfort. Admire the hand-tooled border trim, accented with striking Berry Conchos, and appreciate the functionality of rawhide stirrups, four latigo saddle strings, and a rear crupper. The leather fender straps, equipped with "quick change" buckles, add convenience to your adventures. This saddle, with its fleece-lined skirt and round, split design, isn't just built for mules and donkeys—it's built for the riders who love them.

Western Saddle Seat Size Calculator
*NOTE FOR CHILDREN OR YOUTH SIZES SMALLER THAN 14"
When measuring for a child's Western saddle, have them sit down in a chair. Once seated, use a measuring tape to measure the length of their upper leg from the knee to their rear. The saddle should be about 10% longer than the child's upper leg. For example: If the child's leg measures 9 inches, then the child's Western saddle should be 10 inches.
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.

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.

I've purchased 2 saddles from the Horse Saddle Shop. Both times it was a pleasure. The first saddle was not custom and was an easy transaction. The second time, I ordered a custom saddle and worked with Charlie. He was knowledgable and professional throughout our long arduous process of getting the custom saddle made by the manufacurer. I would definately purchase a saddle from Horse Saddle Shop and Charlie again.

I have never been more pleased with a business and so satisfied with my purchase! I contacted Horse Saddle Shop about a saddle to fit my Haflinger. Josh spent a lot of time on phone and email with me until late night. I let him pick a bridle and breast plate to match. Everything was perfect, shipping was fast, boxed well, prices very fair. I love my saddle, and will definitely be making more purchases from Horse Saddle Shop.

Incredibly streamlined and easy. I am absolutely blown away by the service horse saddle shop provided me. I am naturally a very indecisive person and incredibly picky when it comes to my gear, so after months of shopping and reading my boyfriend suggested here. He also had a positive experience. I browsed their wide selection of used saddles and there it was, MY saddle. The chat staff was incredibly helpful and my saddle was here 4 days later even with free shipping! The saddle was accurately represented in the photos is far from "used". I'm thrilled, to say the least. Thank you!

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!
