Opinions? I'm looking at an older Courts for my hard to fit gelding but would like opinions on them. They look like decent saddles and have heard quite a few good things but would like to hear from any of you that have owned one what you thought!
I had one, I liked it but it didn't fit my hard fitting mare.....eventually gave up and had her fitted and spent the extra money for a custom fitting saddle
Their rope saddles are probably different than the barrel saddles but we have a 14" youth rope saddle that we bought new for my son when he was 7th grade I think. He decided motors were more fun than horses so my daughter and I use the saddle. We love it. Fits horses awesome. Probably not for a high withered horse but for our style horses it works great. Since ours was a youth we had to switch the stirrups out but other than that the saddle fits us great.
I had a barrel/combo for my first saddle and it was great! Very comfortable and fit my horses. I sold it to another younger girl when I grew out of it and she used it for years after me. I have a rope saddle that is easily 15 years old and I still use it on a regular basis and it's in great shape. I've never had problems with them!
I have a Courts barrel saddle that I just got this year and I love it! But my mare isn't hard to fit as long as the tree is FQHB, so I don't have any issues in that regard. But the quality is good, and it fits me good.
I have a Courts all around & a roping saddle. Both are very nicely made saddles & tend to fit a horse pretty descent. Probably going to sell the all around as I'd rather have something more for riding colts in. But I really do like both saddles.
