SHERIDAN RANCH CUTTING SADDLE TREE

RANCH CUTTING SADDLE TREE

Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees were designed from the ground up to fit the cutter and the string of prospects but also handle western cattle events and occasional roping. We build this tree with a roping style horn to handle roping cattle when you need, and some people like the feel of this horn better while riding. We try to make the most lightweight tree we can while also considering the longevity of the the saddle and security the rider feels while riding. Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees are manufactured with wood and covered with rawhide to secure fit for the rider and make the trees strong for years. 

Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees start on with a 7 inch gullet, and quarter horse bars as this is a really good fit on horses of all ages and goals. Our ranch cutting saddle bars follow the line of the horses back to ensure a great fit from front to back. From the string of prospects, to the AQHA champion and many in-between, Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees fit horses of all shapes and sizes. 

So you can see Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees before we start tooling and designing yours, we would like to show them to you on horses of different body types, ages and bloodlines. We based our tree design on the horses listed below as the horses we wanted to focus on fitting. Scroll down as we would like to introduce you to a few of our models so you can see how Sheridan Ranch Cutting Trees fit form the ground up.
