Julie Acosta – TW Saddlery Featherweight Trail & Classic Western

“After retirement, I knew I wanted a horse… eventually that turned into four! I must have purchased a dozen saddles searching for the perfect fit for both my horses and myself. A friend recommended TW Saddlery, and once I scheduled a fitting and rode in the Featherweight Trail, I knew I’d found the right saddle.

I originally planned to swap one saddle between horses, but it didn’t take long to realize each horse deserved their own. Four horses later, I now have four TW saddles! For my last two, I chose the Classic Western because I’ll be riding more hills and rocky terrain and wanted the added security of a back cinch.

The fit is incredible, and the lightweight design makes it easy for me to saddle even my tallest horse. I can ride comfortably for hours, and after trying mine, two of my friends have purchased TW saddles of their own.

I injured my shoulder in 2022, so lightweight tack became more important than ever. I’ve worked hard to regain my strength, and the first time I mounted from the ground again was in my TW saddle.”
