Does anyone ride a Coats? How do they ride? Fit the horse?
I ride a Coats. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Has fit any horse I put it on. They are super comfy. I like that they don't push me any which way. If I want to ride forward I can, if I want to sit back, I can. I've had mine for... a long time now ha. Use it hard whether it be barrels, ranching, trails. Still holding up like new. I can't say enough about them. For me, it's fits perfect. It's a 14" seat. LOVE THEM!!
I bought a Coats last year and I love it..did take a month to seem to really fit well on horse..sheep skin to settle underneath the saddle part..stuck up in the back and I could feel it on my butt a little..I wouldn't trade it for nothing now..holds me well and it fits my horse great

I have went through lots of saddles due to a hard fitting horse - nothing fits or rides like a Coats - great quality leather and craftmanship - I have only had the Originals - absolutely love them and I believe the Coats saddles are the most versatile fit wise and they hold their value.

I bought a Coats new about 14 years ago. I have used it just about everyday on several horses and I LOVE IT!! I sent it back to Coats last year just for cleaning and touch ups but has never needed repairs. Great investment.

I should have put a flex tree in mine. I absolutely love my coats. I will say, the horn and pommel are a little shorter than the saddle I used before hand so there have been a couple of times I've gone forward on it. I had it made for Bunny's back but she actually doesn't like it that much. IDK why, maybe it's because my old saddle is a flex tree and this one isn't. But I had to put my old saddle back on her. Lucy rides and runs great in it. It fits just about anything I put it on...except Bunny. LOL.

I have a Coats custom made roper and love it. Still hoping for a barrel racer one day. I've had my roper for about 5 years and I can't say a bad word about htem. They hold their value too!!
I bought a coats about 8 months ago and LOVE it. I have ridden in just about every saddle out there and this is by FAR my fovorite. I had it custom fitted to my horse and we are running and clocking better than ever because we are both comfortable. It is a wait to order a new one but it is worth every minute of it!!
