Calling all Hunters! If you're looking for a conservative, yet modern twist on a hunter's dream saddle, we have it in the Surnier Saddle. Made from hand crafted calfskin leather, tastefully stitched, and pressed flaps, comfort is not compromised for style.

Saddle Tree: This saddle is equip with our Barnes Spring Tree. Handcrafted and constructed with laminated beechwood, treated for strength and reinforced in the arches with a steel plate. This allows for ultimate longevity and the perfect base for form our panels off of. The Barnes Spring Tree is is also adjustable by a certified fitter.

Panels: Excellent panels are essential to the health of a horse's back. This is why we offer two forms of panels, soft foam or wool. The performance between the two are extremely similar, however, foam is better suited for saddles on multiple horses. We also offer two styles of panels, French or Standard, both of which are stylistic preference. French panels are thinner while our Standard panels are thicker. Regardless of your preferences, all Barnes saddles are designed to support and protect your horse specifically. We highly recommend working with your saddle fitter to get the appropriate width of your panels.

Flaps: We have standard dimensions as well as custom shapes that we can collaborate with your fitter over. All of our flaps are ergonomically designed and thoughtfully crafted for contact with the horse. We highly recommend sending photos with measurements, as well as working with a fitter, in order to get your ideal saddle flaps. 

Seat: Always made with the rider in mind, we create every seat with the most comfortable, yet connected ride possible. Seats range from 16.5 to 18 depending on the build/height of the rider. Additionally, we offer flap, semi-deep, and deep seat options.
