Advantages of Abetta® Cordura® Saddles

• Cordura® is a 1000 denier nylon that is virtually indestructible. Cordura® is a registered trademark of DuPont. The Abetta® Cordura® saddle is covered with Cordura® nylon.

• Abetta® is the only synthetic saddle maker that uses closed-cell foam. This means the saddle will not absorb water. Between the closed-cell foam and the Cordura® nylon, your horse can lay down in the creek you're crossing, and you won't have to worry about your saddle. The kids can drag it through the mud... just rinse it off. Plus, this makes the saddle less susceptible to bacteria and germs.

• The Abetta® Cordura® saddle is built on a genuine Ralide® saddle tree. Over 50% of all saddles made in the USA are built on Ralide® saddle trees - Environmentally Friendly Ralide® is an injection molded tree with a metal reinforced horn. Injection molding ensures absolute consistency. Ralide® trees are virtually indestructible.

• The Abetta® Cordura® also boasts of one-piece rigging. Others go just under the jockey and bolt the rigging to the tree, and that's where they stop. Abetta® takes a nylon strap completely over the tree. Abetta® still bolts the rigging into the tree, but it is one piece.

• The Abetta® Cordura® saddle's seat is covered in Acu-Suede. Acu-Suede retains its look and feel of suede indefinitely -- never smoothing out.

• There is leather in four places on the Abetta® Cordura® saddle. The horn is leather wrapped. Rosettes are leather. The nylon rigging is lined with leather to assure it doesn't bunch up or slip. And, the stirrup leathers are leather lined for strength and abrasion resistance.

• The Abetta® Cordura® is light enough for a child or a small woman to throw around, and this 17 lb. saddle is more comfortable for the horse. The Abetta® Cordura® saddle is good looking, long lasting, comfortable, easy to care for, very inexpensive and yet has a high end custom tailored look.

Environmentally Friendly - Abetta does not use trees in the making of our products!


Abetta® Saddles are the result of th eassociation of technologies through International cooperation. Until recently, the unique combination of materials used in Abetta® products were not available. This manufacturing process for high-quality saddles built from synthetic materias was pioneered in England and brought to the United States where it was adapted to the production of Western-style saddles. The saddle makers of England and the U.S. further refined the process to produce what we believe to be the finest synthetic Western saddles ever built. Abetta® saddles feature scratch-resistant Cordura® nylon laminated to closed-cell shock-absorbing foam, genuine Ralide® saddle trees, nylon/leather half-breed rigging with stainless steel dees, engraved silver conchos and bell stirrups with no-slip tred. Abetta® has rapidly captured the market for high-quality synthetic saddles. They are lightweight, easy to clean, low cost and maintain their appearance and beauty for years.
