Does this saddle look ok for trail or should it be used just for showing/parade?

Would you use this on trail? :/ I think i'd be kind of worried about scratching it...

It depends on how much you want it to stay nice and how dear to your heart it is :wink:
My saddle is always muddy and scratched up from crossing creeks and riding through brush and trees.
Its like a new truck bed. The first few times you have to throw some fence posts or bales of hay in it, you sort of cringe. You get used to it after awhile though :lol:

It looks like a really comfy and hard working saddle. I would have no problems riding the heck out of it, and oiling it like crazy to get rid of that "pink" look to the natural colored leather.

Parade saddles generally have more ornamentation. That one just has nice tooling and a neat design. It would be fun to ride in a parade with it, but you can tell it was made to work in.

If you're concerned about messing up the saddle, just don't trail ride in it yet. It's going to be like that new truck or favorite new pair of blue jeans. You'll know when it's time to get down and dirty in it. :lol:

Right now it's still special. In time, you'll start to use and abuse it like we all do.

Congrats on the new saddle btw, it's really cool looking.
