Circle Y Saddles and Tucker Trail Saddles support the efforts of Back Country Horsemen of America – a service organization committed to improving and preserving the wilderness to be accessed and enjoyed on horseback.
Helping trail horse riders protect their heritage
As organizations with a common interest in the trail rider, the cross promotion of the Back Country Horsemen and the Circle Y and Tucker brands made perfect sense.
The Back Country Horsemen of America is a service and education group joined by a determination to protect our heritage of back country stock use as defined by their purpose.
Their purpose is to: promote common sense and recreational stock use on virtually all public lands, to assist the government and private agencies in land improvement and management, and to educate and encourage participation of the wide use of back country as horsemen and the general public.
While Circle Y and Tucker Trail Saddles are distinct brands, they are owned by Circle Y Saddles, Inc., and each is well known for their specialized trail riding saddles.
Tucker Trail Saddles is dedicated solely to the trail rider and the Tucker brand has become synonymous with “comfort”. Tucker’s patented Gel-Cush™ shock absorbing seat is known all over the world for providing hours of ultimate trail comfort for the rider. Constantly researching saddle fit for the horse, Tucker offers 10 tree fits to properly fit trotting, gaited, and draft horses, as well as mules.
Circle Y is best known for the Flex2® saddle. Its design and performance revolutionized the saddle world. The flexible bars provide a level of conformity and support that maximize comfort and performance for both the horse and rider.
The most popular saddle in the Circle Y line, the Flex2® fits a wide range of horses and mules, is lightweight, and does not get wider over time or break down to create pressure points.
“As organizations with a common interest in the trail rider, the cross promotion of the BCHA and the Circle Y and Tucker brands made perfect sense. The BCHA are dedicated to keeping the trails open, and we are dedicated to building saddles that are practical and comfortable for the trail rider,” said Mark Jemelka, Chief Operating Officer of Circle Y Saddles, Inc.
