If you ride a gaited horse, you know how important it is to have a saddle that stays comfortable for both of you over long miles. The Alabama Flex2® Trail Gaiter™ is built with that in mind to work well with the natural motion of a gaited horse.

Why Riders Choose the Alabama Flex2® Trail Gaiter

• Designed specifically for gaited horses to allow freedom of movement
• Short skirt helps prevent interference with the horse’s stride
• Impact Foam™ seat cushions the ride for all-day comfort
• 3-way in-skirt rigging lets riders adjust fit for their individual horse
• ErgoBalance™ stirrups help reduce knee and ankle strain over long rides

The short skirt design helps keep the saddle from getting in the way of the horse’s movement, allowing for a freer, more natural gait. The 3-way adjustable in-skirt rigging lets riders choose the rigging position that works best for their horse, while also reducing bulk under the rider’s leg for a closer feel. An angled rear dee provides a secure attachment point when riding over rough terrain, helping keep gear stable when the trail gets uneven.

This saddle is built on Circle Y’s Flex2® tree, a design that revolutionized the saddle industry. Unlike many flex trees that bend throughout the saddle, the Flex2® tree flexes only where your horse needs it while keeping rider weight stable and supported. That means the saddle can move with your horse without losing its structure. It also won’t get wider over time or flex in half, giving you dependable support ride after ride. All saddles and trees are handmade in Yoakum, Texas. 

The Alabama Flex2® Trail Gaiter is the kind of saddle gaited horse riders reach for when they want to stay comfortable in the saddle while letting their horse move the way it was meant to.
