These saddles are designed and built for fit and comfort. The lightest ones weigh about 29 lbs in the lightweight design. Most of the saddles weigh in the 34- 37 lbs range which is relatively light for a custom western saddle built of the finest materials. You can send us your mules measurements and we can ensure a proper fit. Just let us know if you would like cruper dees, extra rings, or footman's loops installed on your custom mule saddle and Jason will do it for you. We look forward to hearing from you!
