Never ridden on or even know the name. But if it looks to be a quality saddle it probably is. There are some saddle makers that produce an outstanding saddle, they just don't do it big time. Put it on a horse and try it out. On most saddles you get your money back you put into it.

Paul is a barrel horse trainer from Texas that spent a lot of time in Italy. He does a lot of clinics all over. I have hosted a clinic for him and consider him a friend. He gave away one of his saddles at the clinic I hosted and the gal that got it loves it. My trainer bought one and she likes hers. Ridejg on here had an older one of his. I'm thinking she liked it but sold it and I cant remember why. Hopefully she will see this post and reply. I highly recommend his clinics if you ever get the chance. ?? working on getting him back up to Canada this summer for one.

Yes I have an older Paul Humphrey saddle and like it...it is very well made, with soft leather. It is a wider tree, so use it on my chunky gelding....it doesn't have a real deep seat, and sometimes I think I would like it to be a bit deeper, and the horn a bit higher, but overall it is very comfortable to ride in.
