| Do they fit a wide variety of horses? Good quality? Anything bad you've dealt with? Thanks! |

Location: Wyoming | I have an older one and love it. It's a diamond S that I bought used for $800. Best deal I've ever gotten, I've had many high end saddles and I keep coming back to the old slone. It fits everything and is so comfortable. I've even had friends that have ridden in it and tried to buy it from me. I'm saving up to order a new one with the same tree |

Location: Phoenix | My mom won one back before he started making the Diamond S series and this thing fits EVERYTHING. It's got a fantastic sweet spot. They're really the only saddle we buy. Dad and brother use his rope saddles and I want a custom ladies roper made for me next. I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy one. |

| I bought a rope saddle from them this summer at nationals... I can't say a single thing bad about it! It's a great built saddle, I've rode it on 3 horses that are built differently ( wide back, narrow back, higher withers than the other 2, etc.) and never had a problem I put a 5star under the saddle and it fit everything, I was actually kind of surprised :) they are also extremely nice people to work with! |

Location: South Texas | I will have to respectfully disagree. Had one and the tree broke. Sent it back for warrantee tree to be replaced took about 2 years to get it back and then they wanted to charge me about $600. Ugly discussion got my saddle back and never again! |

Location: Phoenix | c-cross - 2016-12-10 9:13 AM I just ordered one at Vegas. Our daughter has one and it fits everything.
I really wanted to swing by their booth during the NFR. It we never made it downtown. :(. May I ask what it ran you? I'm going to have to save quite a bit I'm thinking! But it will last forever. My mom's is a 2002 and it's in great shape. |

| Thanks for all the replies! I stopped by the booth at Vegas and tried a few out and spoke with them about options. Seems like they are good for the most part. Thanks again |

Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | I have an older one that I bought about a year ago. It is a tree that they no longer make according to the gal that sold it to me, and actually did not fit the horse I bought it for, but it did end up fitting my other gelding. I'd been riding him in a treeless and felt I did not ride him well in it. Tried the TS on him and fell in LOVE. It's a great saddle, I won't ever sell it, and I'm hoping within a year or so I can have one made for my originally intended gelding.
I absolutely love the way it rides and the quality. It is on the heavy side, however my travel buddy ordered one two years ago at the nfr and hers is substantially lighter than mine. |

Location: MN | LOVED the few I've rode in. Rope and barrel saddles, seemed to fit everything and I use to ride about 8 horses a day in them. Id recommend them to anyone! Pretty affordable too. |

This is my only complaint. Mine is SUPER heavy. It takes all I've got to hoist it on. |
