Are these good saddles? Good quality, hold up well? This saddle I am looking at is older, 12+ years and they say it is the Kim Ferguson version. I have googled this saddle trying to find out more info about them, but I am not having any luck. So, can anyone tell me anything about these saddles? Do they seem to fit a variety of horses?
I have 3 & love them. Mine are all older and ride & Look great. The leather is good & doesn't wear easily. I have 2 regular trees & a betty roper tree & they all ride great & have fit every horse Ive put them on. They don't roll or move, even with out being super tight. I never have to worry about my feet or body because they really hold you in place.
I have 2 for sale because Ive gained lbs & need to buy a bigger one or they would not be for sale.
The best part is they set down on the horse instead of perched on top of their backs/
Thank you! Do you know anything about the Kim Ferguson style/tree?
Isnt Kim Ferguson Kim Thomas now? I don't think they vary much over all- as far as the CP saddles that are older. You might reach out to Kim and ask her about the tree or just call Stacy Autry (Cecil's son in law that has Shiloh saddler)
