One of the most stable of saddles, it is the favourite of explorers who must navigate difficult terrain. Thanks to its build, it allows the rider to stay centred in the saddle and provides strong grips so as not to fall. It gives the rider a +2 circumstance bonus to Ride checks for guiding the mount through difficult terrain and staying in the saddle. However, it is not too comfortable in the long run, with the rider suffering a -2 on Constitution checks for forced marches or Fortitude checks related to exhaustion.
