| I used to be a big double J fan but found a lot of inconsistency in their saddles.
I bought a coats. I think I found my "lifer," saddle! They are worth every single penny. |

Location: NC | I really enjoyed my MJ Ultimate I rode in for years.
Loved Loved my PSC saddles, but I had a kid and decided to downgrade :-(
Like my martin
Loved the look and feel of the Caldwells I had, but didn't seem to fit my horses well, but I guess I just didn't have luck finding the right tree for my horses.
Liked the fit of Sibley on the horse (except one) but didn't feel as secure to me as my others.
Really liked the comfort of the Meleta Brown
Wanna try a Pro Rider They look like they would ride good, especially for the price.

I sold one not long ago and had it advertised for like a month. Loved the ride, it wasn't working for my horses (except the 2 kid horses. It was my go-to for when I was tuning them). You're not looking in the right places! LOL
I am riding 3 saddles right now and really like all of them. And they work for what I'm riding. Merrill, Crown C, and a Shiloh Jerri Mann. Of those 3, the Shiloh is the one that I never feel out of position no matter what happens. |

Apparently not! LOL! I've been riding in the same Circle Y NBHA saddle for 16 years and I'm finally starting to look for something different/new. |

 Don't Wanna Make This Awkward

Location: Texas | I've tried both pozzi's and Caldwells, and they are great saddles by all means, but I finally came to terms that $2000 (MINIMUM) is just absolutely RIDICULOUS for a saddle! I can get a nice barrel prospect for the price of those saddles, a good deal on a used one is finding them for less than $2000.
I recently bought a Shiloh contender for right around a $1000. I LOVE it! Very similar to a pozzi with the deep seat imo. I might even like it better because of the price and the way it rides. I still feel secure and can sit down, but it also makes it easy to get up and ride. I'd also really like to try a triple creek, maybe one day.. |

The pricing on Pozzi's make no sense to me...You can't compare them to a handmade saddle like a Caldwell though. I used my Caldwell pretty hard and owned it for three years. I paid $3,600 for it new when I ordered it, and sold it recenly for $3,200 based off of a picture of it on my horse. |
