Custom Order a Yancey Saddle for your Paso Fino. These saddles are now made by Willie Kurth of Fine Walk LLC. The Yancey saddle was developed by James Yancey by trying his standard wooden tree on more than 200 Paso Finos. It passed the fit test for over 90% of them. Some say it is a McClellan tree, but it is actually a tree formed to look somewhat like the McClellan but made to fit the shorter backed Gaited Horse. You can see one of the trees in the photo with Mr. Kurth. You can now get a narrow, or wide tree to fit those hard to fit Pasos. Or you can have a custom tree made just for your horse, which means the Yancey can now be made to fit other breeds. To do this, we need an equi-measure tracing of your horses back and the saddle is a non returnable item.

We have used and sold this saddle for over 5 years. It has fit our Paso Finos well. A Skito pad makes all the difference with small mismatch between the hard tree and horse. Also a double pad makes up for lack in the young Paso that is not yet muscled out. The rigging is a Center Fire Rigging. It keeps the saddle pressure even from front to back. A crupper and breast collar insures you do not have to have your saddle overly tight even on steep hills. Just extra support.
