The saddle is beautiful and you were so helpful!!!  I'm anxious to ride in it. I'm sure I will love it. I will certainly recommend you to my friends. Thanks for all your help!!!

Hi Ann, I’m really enjoying my saddle. I had tons of compliments on it. I always tell them how helpful you were too!

This was my first ride on my new horse :) He 's the second horse I've used the saddle on. Same breed (Paso Fino) but they are built totally different. This is a great saddle for me. I'm convinced it has kept me from falling off at least twice. One time a good friend remarked " Wow I can't believe you stayed on!"  I would recommend this saddle to anyone desiring a secure, comfortable saddle that is good looking to boot!!!!

Just wanted to touch base with you.  The saddle is a keeper!....It has saved me several times, kept me right in the saddle! Love it!

Ann,

The Gaiter arrived today and it is the prettiest one yet.  It is going to look really good on my black geldings, and also the chocolate Rockies! I think the tooling really is elegant. I will try to get a picture of it on a horse and send to you. I may have to order another one in a year or so for my silver buckskin filly. I think we will try natural or light tan with some colored tooling of the vines, but I have got to think about the seat color. Hope you have a Merry CHristmas and thanks for all your help!  If you travel my way, come by for a visit.

Hi, Ann! 

Just wanted to tell you that my new saddle is wonderful.  We rode today up and down hills, trotting and cantering on the state trails and Teddy had no girth galls at all!  I cannot tell you how happy I am with the whole "set up" that was worked out on my saddle.  I used the neoprene girths in the front and back, with the connecting straps and all stayed in place beautifully.  The saddle is super comfy and I absolutely love it.  Not to mention, it looks super on him.  I finally found the gaited jennet that I have been searching for.  She came three weeks ago from Kentucky.  She is so sweet.  The saddle is going to look great on her as well.  I do love this saddle and know that I have finally found the one that I will use always.  Thanks again for all of your help with my purchase of this wonderful saddle!

My saddle just arrived. It looks great--a miracle as the box was in pretty bad shape and all wet on the bottom.  I am anxious to try it--but we have had rain all day and really don't want to get it all muddy the first time out!!  Will let you know more, hopefully tomorrow.

I have ridden my saddle several times now--and I LOVE it!  I have not done any 6 hour rides, but have ridden several short rides--today around the 4 mile square, plus I have ridden it on 3 different horses--all have had good sweat patterns.  I don't know if it is my imagination or not--but I feel like the horses are moving "free-er" like they are more comfortable.  I love how once I put the saddle on, tighten the cinch--the saddle stays put--no sliding off when I dismount.  I really feel like the saddle is giving me a more comfortable ride--less back pain and no chafing.  As you can tell I am very happy with the saddle.  In nearly 60 years of riding I have never spent so much on a saddle--but when I took it out of the box you could tell the craftsmanship and quality of the leather was very good.

 

Did I hear you’re headed to Lonesome D soon?  I will be riding in Oklahoma next week--will get some long miles on that saddle!

Hi Ann,

Sorry about the blank email I just sent. I hadn't had enough coffee yet. LOL! 

I finally rode in my saddle on Saturday. I think it worked really well and was very comfortable, for me. I think my gelding liked it too. I will take a picture of him in it. He looks awesome!

Thanks Beth
