"Very comfortable to trail ride in. Appearance is awesome. I have only owned it for a week but expect my expectations to be surpassed."
"I like saddle. The rough seat leather keeps your seat in 1 place very nicely. Cushion is soft and fingers can press down into cushion of seat. It took stirrup leathers about a week to be totally broke in. I conditioned entire saddle once with Neatsfoot Oil as I wanted to darken it anyway. It's beautiful chestnut color but I have a black horse. I'd recommend leather new spray and black rock leather conditioner. That is my next step to remove the squeaky new noise. I know baby powder works for quick fix but long term black rock conditioner will remove squeakiness. Great saddle to train in, ranch shows, open shows, work cattle, and trail ride."
"I added a carabiner to back cinch. Leather strap was too short. Saddle is squeaky. Stirrup leathers took 4 to 5 rides to break saddle in. Great seat, so comfortable. Chestnut leather is a very nice color and the tooling is very nice and not over done. Great saddle and price."
"Nice quality leather and gorgeous chestnut color. Attractive leather pattern. When I ordered this back cinch it was on back order. It was approximately 2 weeks out. It arrived on time however there were only holes punched in one of the billets. They must have rushed the production. I should have in hindsight returned that billet but I was in need of this cinch so I punched a hole myself. It doesn't look nearly as good as the holes punched from the manufacturer."
"I would prefer to return it . It is way too bulky for what i want. Please advise."
"I love how soft the leather is and how comfortable the seat is. I would buy it again."
"It is very firm and strong."
"Love the basket weave and the thick sturdy leather."
"Cinch connector strap too short. Had to replace it w a longer one."
"This saddle is so gorgeous and comfortable. Its good to sit in for hours. . I love it and it looks great on my Quarter Horse. He is 16. 1 so lifting it on him is helping build up my arm muscles. . lol. . . its so worth it. I am thrilled to have it."
