Western Ranch: Woodard Ranch
The Woodard Ranch saddle is 28 pounds, reinforced custom designed and treed working ranch saddle. The Woodard fork is a slightly lean forward traditional shape fork suitable for all ranch work, including reining and western dressage. The base Woodard Ranch comes with a padded, ergonomically correct seat. However, you can also choose to upgrade to an ergonomically correct hard seat (with a twist that eliminates that splayed out propane tank seat) with or without a padded inlay. Standard features include pretwisted, all leather fenders, a 4" deep dish cantle with either a pencil roll or Cheyenne roll cantle binding, several rigging choices, and several stirrup choices, shearling underside, rope strap. The Woodard is a short minimalistic designed saddle that has the heft to work minus the weight, and you can actually feel your animal without all the layers of unnecessary leather. The very best option is that you can build the Woodard Ranch on dozens of different tree fits by Steel Tree Company for quarter horses, gaited, long ears, drafts, the Baroque and pony breeds . . . all equines. Gone are the frustrations of semi or full quarter horse trees as your only choices. You can build your rear single skirting to be either an open rear or closed skirting (open means there is not leather on the spine from front to back) and a completely open channel front to back so this saddle is completely off the spine. This is a close contact pared down working saddle and can be decorated with lots of upgrades such as rough out, carving and tooling, rear cinches, and lots more. Perfect for the Western Dressage show ring, rugged ranch and trail, training, everyday riding and the show ring. The Woodard Ranch weighs 28 pounds.
