Has anyone tried these or bought??  TIA :)

I purchased a Josh Andrews barrel saddle over a month ago and let me just say it is by far the best light weight saddle i have ever ridden in. I have owned seven, masters, and bautz brazilian barrel saddles. I have had the worst luck with those saddles as they all had likes and dislikes. Seven would throw me forward all the time. Masters i feel like i couldn't get up out of my seat when i needed to. Bautz would cause lower back soreness. The biggest factor i needed was the bar angle. Josh's saddles have a wider bar angle which allows more variety of horses to use this saddle. Most light weights come in the standard 42 bar degree that wouldn't fit most of my horses. I love the pricing for the JA saddle since its below $2k and actually comes in a variety of colors and designs. Most Masters are over 2200 i've knoticed. My JA saddle allows me to sit deep in my saddle as well as get up out of it when i need to. I have nothing bad to say over his saddles. He also has a return and refund policy unlike other companies which is a big plus to me. I have the ultra light JA saddle thats 13 pounds with a wooden tree.

I've asked multiple times of people who ride them,  and nobody knows who makes these saddles. Until I know that, I'm going to remain skeptical. What other saddle have you seen that doesn't claim a maker?

I was told they were being made in Mexico. But I don't know for sure if that's accurate. 

I don't know who makes his saddles but I do know that Master Saddles sued Josh Andrews through the Arkansas courts in 2021. I found this ...

Master Saddles LLC v. Andrews

I figured there would be some shady story behind it. 

I asked him questions, and all I got were vague answers.   Asked how the fit was compared to a masters, to which he replied his fit so much better, like a saddle is supposed to fit.............Kinda smarty pants I thought.   I promptly unfollowed him and no longer interested.   Will not give you a direct answer about anything

I have one and absolutely love it. I've had prolites (3 - 2 hybrids and a neoprene) all 3 lasted 10-15 rides and then fell apart, frayed at the d rings and fenders, came with flaws and glue showing. Sent pictures to SK when I wanted to order a new and described my issues, and got blocked lol red flag. My masters I really liked but it didn't quite fit my horses well enough. Super comfy. My josh andrews is about as perfect as I could expect. Its holding up riding 3-4 horses a day on the ranch and in the arena, super comfy, the fenders are able to be moved where you want them, it fits my thick 3yo like an absolute glove with a master equiflx pad and my ottb with a csi, easy to clean. It weighs maybe 16#. I highly recommend. 

I'm skeptical about them because they seem to be pretty identical to Taktical saddles. Makes me think they are on an assembly line somewhere. 

I bought one.It's made very well.Love it.

Per Josh, his saddles are 42° or 45° angles as well.
