I have been looking at them on line for a while now and asking anyone and everyone that has rode in them there opinion.. I haven't had one person say a bad thing about them.. I talked to mike the other day and he was very nice and helpful with all of my questions.. I think I am going to buy one in a few months.. I have seen a few used for sale ( not many) but they don't last long so that must be a good sign.. Let me know if you get one..

Good to know , yes mike is very helpful and sounds like they make saddle/tree just for your horse, just wanting outside opinions but I also am very tempted to order one.

Have you seen one in person? That's the only thing that makes me nervous about it is that I can't see one in person..

I bought one a year ago and I love it! Fits my gelding really well, holds me in when he powers out of the turns hard, is fairly comfortable and, as a bonus, is really pretty :) I get compliments on it everywhere I go.

Does it sit you back on pockets?

I can't really tell because I show horses, too (English and Western), and as a result I tend to sit up with my hips rolled more forward and my pelvis vertical (like when riding in an English saddle), not back on my pockets like most. However, my saddle gives me a lot of freedom to move and shift how I need to when riding so I can get up and hustle out of a barrel but also sit deep into turn without any trouble. Does that answer your question?

My mom bought one and neither one of us liked it. There feels like there is a notch in the seat where your thighs sit.
