I'm looking to buy a new saddle with a turquoise seat. Was looking at ProRider, but they can't do some of the things I was wanting. Looked at PCS and they have the color I'm looking for, but it's in ostrich.

If its real leather ostrich print on the seat its not slick. My daughter has a fully tooled Brandi halls with green ostrich seat. Its not slick at all. Any of the fake stuff is slipper.

I don't think ostrich is out of style at all! We don't see a ton of it because the price has increased the past couple years due to the avian flu overseas. It drastically decreased the ostrich population.

I agree with this..what good is looking "in style" if you're slipping and sliding all over the dang place during a run! Get something you are comfortable with, even if it means not "in style" and kick butt!!

It's never out of style it's just that people get tired of it and go after gator or stingray again. But they always come back. I personally won't buy another full quill ostrich saddle. It wore out WAY too quickly on all four saddles I acquired with it on the seat... Looks sharp... for a season... I'm a tack and saddle junkie...
