We absolutely love this saddle! Not only does it provide incredible comfort, but it also looks fantastic and keeps us secure with its deep seat.
 
The Sensation Ride™ Sonoran model combines elements from both Western and English saddle styles, with added leg-steadying flap lines similar to those found on formal dressage saddles. The long knee roll and knee blocks provide great support for the knee and upper thigh, while the seat maintains a secure feeling with its Western-style design.
 
The Sonoran saddle has a roomy, relatively flat, open-cushioned seat that can be shaped with bolsters. It is measured using Western Seat Sizing and is available in Western sizes ranging from 14", 15", and 16", with an option to upgrade to 16.5". The respective English sizes for these are 16", 17", and 18", with an 18.5" seat upgrade option available.
 
There are different swell choices including a "swommel", (rounded western pommel) or western swell, or tall western swell, each offering a different feel to the saddle.
 
The Sonoran's flap is only available with formal flap lines, setting it apart from the hybrid model.
