The B-Light Pleasure Trail Saddle incorporates all the features of the B-Light Trail. Made on a tree with a reiner style front (13” wide) for those who want more swell than our A-Fork. The tooling is the Entz Oak Leaf and Acorn with a double cut border. Shown here with the Wade-style stirrup upgrade. All other specs are the same as the B-Light Trail Saddle II.
