Cashel has determined to be one of the best saddle companies in pleasure riding. Cashel saddles have been designed with the help of Dale Martin, Martin Saddlery, and hundreds of riders. The Axis true Fit Tree is strong as any, of a lighter medium weight, and designed to fit athletic horses. Cashel Saddles are built tighter than most. They use a quality leather that will withstand some mud and water. The company understands what professional style saddles are supposed to be, and they make them to give you every edge in riding.  Cashel executives are riding horsemen. You can tell, when you ride all day in their product.
