On our saddle the center channel is held generously wide and high with shape retaining pads and a stainless tree to spread the load evenly away from the spine. Most harness makers will charge 30%-60% more to include such a saddle with their comparably priced harnesses. (If you do the research, you’ll find this to be true!)  

The single Luxury English Saddle features a robust “Gig Saddle” pattern that can be used with all fixed shaft two or four wheel vehicles because of a sliding backstrap which reduces strain on your horses back, and comes with an "English" style shaft tug, or round tug.  Note that we do not charge extra for this sliding backstrap Gig saddle, compare our price to others.

The single Luxury Marathon saddle has a fixed backstrap and is appropriate for 4 wheel marathon vehicles with independent shaft movement, and comes with a marathon “quick release” style shaft tug, which is meant for use with a closed end shaft.   

Tilbury tugs are available by special order, as is patent leather.
