The PEAK Performance™ saddle line is designed and ridden by Julie Goodnight. She is a trainer, clinician, host of the TV show Horse Master with Julie Goodnight, and she’s on the Advisory Board of the Western Dressage Association of America. Drawing from her varied background in English and Western riding and her strong upbringing in classical riding, Goodnight recognizes that regardless of discipline a balanced position for the rider and fit for the horse are fundamental. Goodnight’s saddles provide a correct seat, narrow twist, close contact feel, and absolute comfort for both horse and rider to make them the perfect multi-use performance saddles. Equally
suitable for the arena, show ring, or on the trail, the Peak Performance™ saddles are great for trail riding, reining, cow work, and Western Dressage.
This round skirted saddle is ideal for trail riding. Beautiful hand tooling and contrasting black seat and black strings make this one gorgeous saddle. With the Flex2® tree technology, it conforms to the horse’s back while providing rider weight distribution and is light weight. Flex2® skirts have a shock absorbing neoprene filler for the horse and rider’s comfort; skirt has a close contact design for precise cueing, a Slip-Not™ skirt liner for easy care with XPG™ gel bar pad for your horse’s comfort, Impact Foam seat with narrow twist and broad pocket for all-day comfort, Softee® seat jockeys and fenders provides a “ready to ride” saddle to minimize rider’s knee and ankle strain because they are broke in right from the start. ErgoBalance stirrups™ and pre-twisted stirrup leathers reduce knee and ankle fatigue while promoting balanced riding.
Saddle Fitting Made Easy!

Love This Saddle!
I have a Quarter horse with prominent withers, short back, and a more Thoroughbred type build (basically an appendix). I have had some trouble in the past with saddle fit and was thrilled that SmartPak had a "try before you buy" option. While not roomy, it had adequate space for my horse's withers (slipped my hand easily through the space of the pommel), didn't have any spaces along his back, and didn't shift when I moved the saddle back and forth. After riding, he had even sweat marks and was completely dry along his spine. I did save up for a 1" 5 Star Pad and 1/4" liner and have noticed no problem with any pressure points from the extra padding. I also really liked having the option to move the girth position with the 3-way adjustable rigging feature.
From the rider's perspective it is a heavy saddle, but I was more concerned about fit so it wasn't a deal breaker for me. The seat is very comfortable and it was great having the stirrups pre-softened so you didn't have to worry about "break-in." If you have a "sturdier" build, I do recommend going up a size (I contacted SmartPak and was able to get the 16" seat size through the original manufacturer, Circle Y). The tooling is also really beautiful, just be aware that you will get some rubbing on your fenders over time.
Overall, my experience with this saddle has been very positive and after using it for a year, I would highly recommend giving it a try.

Not for a horse with moderate wither
I love SmartPak with the use of trying out a saddle for no cost. I have tried several saddles, but this one was not one of my favorites r/t reading reviews that it would fit a higher wither type horse. With the multiple saddles I have tried, this one actually sat the closest to my horses "moderate wither". I knew it was heavy, but boy was it heavy for the average women to handle. It sounded like a really nice saddle, but I was not impressed. It wasn't as soft/flexible as expected. For a hard to fit horse the Cashel Trail Saddle which I tried from Smartpak, was one of the better fits for a short back, withered horse. I am sure this saddle is perfect for most horses, but if looking for a harder to fit horse, thus far the Cashel is one to try. Just trying to help those with the same struggle. I must say the Wind River was a very pretty saddle :).
