Location: Qld Australia | I know, I know, this has been done to death but I just had a look at the thtreads for the last 6 months and couldn't see any photos.
Show me your Triple Creeks!!!!
I have loved them since they came out and did contact about getting one made and sent to Australia. It is still in my mind to do this but I can't afford to just at the moment. Howerver, this does not stop me drooling over them and loving them. So help me get my fix, share your saddles with BHW (again) lol.
I have noticed a really flat looking seat on one of their vintage saddles on their website for abour 1200-1300 and it has me wishing I could ride in one. I really love a flat seat that give your room to move your hips. I would love to know how it rides. |

On Mr. Max
Once we figured out a thinner pad for it and I got in the habit of placing it back farther, it fits him beautifully! And his right shoulder has been staying in place, which was a major issue with my last one. So I am very happy! I can't wait to run in it next month, loping through the pattern though has shown that now that his right shoulder is free, it is imperative that I hang on in the turns - weeeee!

| Mine ships tomorrow!!!  No one around me had one to try and the only other person I know who has one (5 states away) does not use the same seat size AT ALL, so it wouldn't have helped to have her ship me one. Call me stupid but I just went and ordered it. If I hate it I know I can sell it pretty easily, but since I have never heard any real complaints I don't think I will have that issue. |

I ordered my saddle without ever seeing one in person. The only thing I got to see in person were the fit forms when they used to send them out. Post pics of your new saddle! I love seeing other people's TC's! |

Are you using a flank cinch? Sorry, I see others asked already. I'd like to see a pic of the saddle sitting on the horse too. :)

Location: Texas | I bought this one used about a year ago. It didn't fit my horse, so it sat in my living room for months - until my daughter asked if she could try it on her big gelding. I'd been worried about having to buy an expensive saddle for him and low and behold, it fits him like it was made for him. The only thing she'd change is to make it rough out so it's not so slippery.

I wondered about some of them 'popping' at the back when I see photos of them sitting on a horse and they look like the 'pop' when a horse is just standing there. Saddle fit has to be the hardest thing to achieve. |

They look to be great saddles for the price don't they?
I know some BB's have some seriously tricked out Triple Creeks, hopefully someone might post some more pics. A couple of the saddles posted so far are pretty close to what I imagine I would order if I one day get to. I should have ordered one a couple of months ago when the exchange rate had the Aussie dollar at the same value or higher. What a cheap saddle I would have got without having to add an extra 20-30 bucks per every 100.
A saddle like these Triple Creeks, custom made in Oz would set you back starting price 3k. |

Where did you find those conchos? Love them! I've been dragging my feet on having custom conchos made because I can't commit to a color I like. But I really really like these and they would look great on my Triple Creek! |

| I hope you don't mind but I have a question about these saddles. Everyone who owns one do they tend to fit different horses? Or maybe just one type. I've seen a few I would seriously like to buy but not sure if they would work for my horse. My mare is a bit racey bred but not really narrow. She's long backed and has highish withers that slope. Thanks for any help.

They're Horse Shoe Brand by Jeremiah Watt. You can find them on eBay. I know Weaver Leather sells them, but I think you need a business to order them from Weaver. |

I had one, wish I could find it to buy it back because I think it would fit at least 2 that I'm riding now.
I tried 3 or 4 forms and one bare tree from Triple Creek. None of the forms fit anything I owned. The "bean tree" fit one mare like a glove--it had more twist and flare , whereas the others were either too narrow or bridged on her, like fit front and back, but gap in the middle. My round backed mare didn't come close to being fit by any of them--none of the angles were close to flat enough for her. |

Mine has the gator seat. It is a little slippery.... I also have fully tooled jockeys and fenders so there's a lot of opportunity to slide on mine. I've used it twice now for playdays and haven't had issues yet though. |

Thanks! I don't actually have a pic of the saddle on MY horse. That's the pic I bought the saddle from... lol. The gator is a bit slippery but not terrible. If you had a 5000 MPH horse I might not get it, but me and my old reliable did great in it.  |
