Equiflex Buckaroo Saddle
The Equiflex Buckaroo saddle is our biggest selling saddle!
These saddles are designed to be in all day. They are very comfortable (for the horse and rider) and come with all the straps and strings as in the photo (brass stirrups are extra).
This saddle is built on an Equiflex tree. There are nearly 500 different shapes of Equiflex tree, so we can find a fit for nearly every shape of horse from a super wide cob to a Friesian, Quarter Horse, New Forest pony, Thoroughbred, mule, donkey and every other breed.
This is one of the most secure western saddles for the rider due to the bucking rolls and deep seat.
About TWS
TWS is run by a mother and daughter team: Maria & Eden.
Maria started this business nearly 20 years ago. For years she ran it single-handedly whilst raising her family. As the business went from strength to strength Eden joined her a few years ago and slowly started taking over the website and ordering side of the business. This enabled Maria to focus on the saddle fitting and develop the teaching side of the business.
Eden has also taken to curating our social media like a duck to water!
