| I am on the verge of ordering a barrel saddle from G-G. This is a saddle designed in cooperation with Jane Mekby. It feels great & looks great, but I've not had an opportunity to ride one. It is said to be built to fit a wide variety of horses. I'm looking for input from anyone who knows about these saddles (I had never heard of them before). Pros, cobs, caveats please! |

Location: South Dakota | I'd like to order one too but need to decide what style. I honestly don't how the barrel saddles fit but my husbands ranch saddle seems to fit about everything. |

| I rode in one for a little bit at one of Jane's clinics. Loved it! When it's time for a new saddle, that's what I'm going with. Not sure where you're at, but G-G is in Rapid City at the Black Hills Stock Show right now. You might be able to talk to them about trying a demo saddle, or check out Jane's clinic schedule on her Facebook page. If there's a clinic near you, she usually has demo saddles in a variety of seat sizes to try. |

Location: South of Canada and North of Mexico | Jane used to be from up here, she recently held a clinic here and my friend converted over from her Crown C and bought one from Jane. SHE LOVES IT, so much she has me talked into one, I just need to throw hers on and sit in it first before dropping the money. Her one horse wears a 9.5 in a Crown C and it does not fit him, but her horse that wears an 8 crown c it does. She said even though the seat is not padded (she has the rough out) it is very comfortable. They are nice quality and light. So far everyone I know that has one loves it and is overall happy with fit and feel. |
