Does this saddle look comfortable for trail riding? I've only bought 2 saddles in my 32 years with my horses so I'm not very experienced in that area...

King Series has manufactured a western look saddle on the famous McClellan tree with a deep seat. Crafted in a dark oil leather with desert rose and basketweave tooling. This saddle has numerous dee rings to hang and attached saddle packs. Equipped with padded endurance stirrups to keep your legs and knees fatigue free on those long rides. Girth Included.

Yes, I'd say that saddle looks very comfortable. Nice seat (a little extra cushion under?), stirrups already turned out, it's a good one for sure. Of course, you want to get one that fits your horse and you, but this saddle looks great.

The saddle has a very appealing appearance but I'm afraid that is all it has.

Most King Series saddles tree's are binding in the shoulder area (tend to turn into the shoulder)

If I find time, I will search for a saddle maker with reasonable prices. They also sold some saddles on Ebay with a good guarantee. I think the name of the company started with a "C"
