Overview
A trail rider choosing synthetic over leather gets Cordura nylon skirts and fenders on a reinforced fiberglass tree here, with leather jockeys, pommel and cantle. Nylon tie straps, quick-change buckles, a silver billet slot and conchos finish the rigging.
The synthetic skirts resist scratches and the tree carries a long guarantee, which makes the saddle practical for regular trail use. The listing gives sizes by seat length without saying which size this item is, so confirm that before buying.
Who it's for
Trail and outdoor riders who prefer easy-care nylon over leather skirts will like the Cordura build. Show riders or anyone who needs a specific gullet width should check the size table first.
Pros and cons
- Scratch-resistant Cordura nylon skirts
- Reinforced fiberglass tree with guarantee
- Reinforced stirrup bar
- Leather jockeys, pommel and cantle
- Weight listed two different ways
- Seat size of this item not stated
- Spec fields describe apparel, not a saddle
- Full Quarter Horse bars only
Performance notes
The fiberglass tree spreads the rider's weight along the bars, and drop D rigging places the cinch so the saddle stays steady on a trail. Neoprene in the skirts reduces rub on the horse, while the Cordura surface sheds scratches from brush.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a Tough1 Eclipse saddle size?
The listing gives horn, cantle, swell and gullet figures for the 13 and 14 inch sizes and for the 15, 16 and 17 inch sizes. Match the gullet to your horse's withers before ordering.
Why do the specs mention skirts and sleeves?
Those apparel fields were attached to the listing by mistake. Use the description for the real saddle features.
Is this saddle leather?
Only the jockeys, pommel and cantle are leather. The skirts and fenders are Cordura nylon synthetic.
