Bonham Ranch Cutter

Looking for that balanced, comfortable seat? You can find that in our Bonham Ranch Cutter! The Bonham is designed to have the rider balanced while still being able to sit deep through maneuvers and keep a good seat. Features include ½ Arizona Flower and Box Stamp tooling, brown iron arrow conchos, 7/8 double dee rigging, and our Circle Y Buster Welch Ranch Cutter Kevlar reinforced wood tree. IDEAL FOR: • Any rider competing in cutting, team penning, and sorting competitions. • The rider looking for a saddle that will allow them to still move freely. • Keeping the rider balanced and in the correct position. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: • The taller horn provides balance to the rider and offers security in competition. • The low cantle allows freedom of movement so the rider can easily move with the horse and not feel trapped. • The beautiful grainout seat is traditional and encompasses stunning Arizona Flower tooling. • This saddle will have pre-turned stirrups straight out of the box, thanks to its Hamley Twists! Hamley Twists provide that “broke-in” feel and keep the strain off your knees and ankles! • This saddle goes one step further with elegance and has a real wool fleece lining under the skirt. • The Bonham Ranch Cutter is built on our Kevlar Reinforced Buster Welch Cutter Tree! HELPFUL TIPS: • 7/8” Double Dee rigging is the tougher of the two 7/8” rigging choices we offer. The 7/8” position is the most commonly used because it provides enough stability to the front of the saddle without interfering with movement! • Hardseat saddles are a timeless choice and are known for their unmatchable comfort once broken in. MORE DETAILS: • The placement of the saddle on the horse’s back is important to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse’s shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse’s movement. • Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously! Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle. This can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back! It’s a good rule of thumb to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing accordingly! • Have you evaluated your horse’s topline conformation? A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and downhill builds may need correctional pads to ensure proper fit.
