I just tried a friends and it didn't fit her gelding or my mare. Rolled on both of them and seemed a bit wide. |

Location: Missouri | I just received my (first new) saddle from Corriente and I love mine, it fits my horse and myself.
I know three other barrel racers that received their saddles and I haven't heard complaints.
Good Luck! |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I just got one as an award saddle and its beautiful! i love it, but its too wide for my guys. Dumps down wayyyy too much in the front. Sucks bc its super comfy and very well made and as far as i know they dont have an option for different size trees/gullets. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I have three, JUST received my new trophy saddle. Can’t wait to try it this weekend.
I’ve not had any issue with them fitting, but will change pads depending on the horse. I would definitely recommend the roughout. The fully tooled one, even with the suede seat, is hard to sit.

Location: New York | My corriente trophy saddle has waaay nicer leather than my double j and fits horses better than my caldwell did. Not my favorite as far as how it rides, but for the price you definitely can't beat them. |

| I had an old style that I liked. Sold it because it was too narrow for my horse. Purchased a new style as I heard they were wider...well it fit my horse great and the gal that had it before me apparently oiled the snot out of it because it was super soft and supple. It had a very flat seat though, not a deep seat like I'd hoped for. I ordered a new one with the fenders through the seat...worst Idea EVER. The new one came with a real stiff plastic-looking leather and the fenders would push my legs back and my body forward. I couldn't get right in it at all. Sold it after 3 rides. I also hate that they won't turn the blevin buckles around. The excess that sticks off the fenders has caused me more wrecks from getting my feet caught up than anything. Got youth fenders and it still had at least 4 inches hanging off. Went back to my kelly kaminski. |

| I just got a new one in December. This is the one I have. I like mine, the only con is its a little harder to break in.
