I kind of stumbled across this saddle company a few months back. I really only like ONE of their barrel saddle designs. I called the company and I really like the measurements on the tree. I also enjoyed talking to them about how they make their saddles and what materials they use. The problem is I have only seen one used and I would like to hear other peoples opinions on them. I was considering buying my daughter one since she needs to move up to a bigger saddle soon. CAVALGA saddles Barrel 5-400 is the model number I am interested in hearing about
I think you take a risk buying a saddle like this because you will have a hard time reselling.. I would stick with Corriente if it's a kid saddle, or you just need something affordable, or just stick with the well known brands. Not saying this is a bad saddle, the website just looked weird since nothing was priced and the word bargain = cheap in my mind.
Yes the website was a little odd that is why I called and talked to them first hand. Im not really looking for a youth youth saddle, I am looking for one to fit an actual horse. The only reason I was considering this guy was because his saddle tree measurements came out to be almost exactly what my daughters mare needs. Maybe I will just keep looking, although I thought it would be worth asking the one that I have seen used in this model is a nice saddle.
