"Soft and supple right out of the box. The adjustment is great to fit multiple size horses, and I like the ability to utilize different rings for different disciplines. The quality is top-notch, especially for the price use with or without a pad. The cushion on the surcingle allows for comfort all the way around. I long line a lot in this, and the mutli rings allow for different headsets."
"It is generally heavy duty and well made but so darn stiff! Every time I use it I get so frustrated trying to buckle and unbuckle the thing. The "rollers" on the buckles are not round and basically worthless. It's like the leather is also slightly too wide for the buckles. I have tried oiling it and it helped a little. If I hadn't oiled it and waited too long I would return it because it is so difficult to buckle and unbuckle. Maybe it'll get better with time and use."
"This is a great surcingle! So many attachment points you can really fine tune your horse's movement."
"It is heavy but extremely well made. Leather is stiff at first but wears in."
"Basically, I have not been able to use this due to it being very uncomfortable for my horse with the very stiff underside "cushions". I bought this several years ago, then went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out a way to make it work. I set it aside and have been using a cloth one. I still plan on adjusting this one as a project. I want to cut the cushions off, firstly, and I think the stretch tech western girth from TSF would work well with it (you can order it with two buckles from them - just have to ask them to make it that way). Otherwise I still give it 4 stars due to it being so heavy duty that it will last forever. I also like the rings standing up like this so they don't put extra tension on the long lines."
"Well worth the money. Taken care of it will last a lifetime and always look good."
"Well made. Will need a lot of softening for girth to tighten easily."
"Excellent quality leather and rings."
"Very nice heavy duty leather. Will need some suppling to buckle easier though expected with new thick leather."
"Quality is excellent! Haven't used it yet, but don't expect any issues."
