| I only ride in deep seats now. My favorite was my 2013 Shiloh JP Contender. My 2018 pozzi pro is similar but in my opinion, the Shiloh was much higher quality leather. |

ETA: It has no rise. It's flat seat cutter with high swells and forward set horn. It is very well balanced.

| I love my Burns with a deep seat and a mid rise. I’ve been running a lot of small patterns lately and sometimes I don’t even make it to the horn - no problems.
I had a C3 which is also super deep...I didn’t realize how much my back was hurting in it until I switched to the Burns. They can be too deep.

Location: Arizona | I had a C3 and I have Pozzi Pro....they ride similiar, nice and centered, comfortable, they both kept me in my seat. The C3 saddle in my opinion was a little better quality than the Pozzi, however, I had to sell the C3 because it just didn't fit my mare the way it should, and this was their "wide" fit. I still ride in the Pozzi. |

| Thanks! I’m going to check these all out. I hope to find a good used one. Not just because less expensive but I like a saddle that’s been broken in.  |

| A friend of mine just bought a Pozzi and the seat is soo deep, she had trouble getting her leg over the cantle when she got on (but she has had several hip replacements - ON that same leg). She sent me a pic and I don't think I'd ever seen a seat that deep! |

Hmm, I don’t find my Pozzi as extreme as she did, I guess.

Location: Tennessee | I love my Team Camarillo! Nice deep seat. Keeps you in the middle of your horse and you can put your legs in front of you or keep them centered under you. |

Location: NE Texas | Mike Green Custom Ride (the new ones Southern Rose Ranch is making, not the old triple creek or frontier versions). Best riding saddle out there and I feel like i've ridden them all at one point or another. Puts you right where you need to be through a turn, yet everything out of the way when it's time to get up and jockey. I've never felt so secure in a saddle or better positioned through a run. Absolutely love it!

I have a Double J Speedster and that's exactly how it feels. I went from riding treeless for 6+ years to it and absolutely love it.
I had ridden in a Pozzi before buying this one, and it felt very similar as far as the seat goes. |

I bought mine from Coolhorse through Ebay. They had it listed both places, and Ebay has the "best offer" option, they accepted my offer plus it was free shipping through Ebay.
On used saddles, Coolhorse has a 30 day return policy, plus you're allowed to ride in them lightly since they're used. They also told me had I sent the saddle back, I would've gotten a full refund, not store credit.
Definitely worth a look! |

I had a Burns made a few years ago. They are amazing saddles. And it has fit every horse I have put it on. It's like a work of art |

I think I already replied on the first page but I just wanted to come back and say DITTO!!!
Having ridden some of the deep seated saddles mentioned I also think that sometimes folks think they want a super deep seat, when really they want a balanced ride - Burns does that. Several times this year we’ve been on such small patterns I wasn’t able to make it to the horn at all and made 2 handed turns - no problem, saddle kept me balanced and where I needed to be.
Their fitting knowledge is fantastic, we’re so lucky Wendy moved to the Midwest |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I've struggled for years with my mare. She's a monster. Wendy designed a new tree for really wide horses. Its the #40 and it fits her like a glove. I also use it on a gelding I'm running for a friend thats built totally different but with a pad change its a good fit. Now I want another Burns! So glad the company is traveling and getting their name out there. |

Location: NE Texas | I'll be the odd man out on the Burns. I couldn't get it to fit mine and I didn't care for the way it rode, pushing me forward every stride. They are beautiful though and nice quality. I took a big loss on the one I bought. |

Marlene by Reinsman has a nice feel too. I rode in my Jeff Smith C3 for the first time yesterday and I'm in love. It kept me centered and feeling secure but I could still move as needed. If you have a front endy horse I'm not sure it would be a good idea, I think it would kind of jab you in the stomach...mine I'm using it on is a free runner and its great! |

I got my C3 because I was riding a front endy horse so I wouldn’t go over the front...
That being said when I got my Burns and it fit him correctly he stopped being front endy. If his shoulders are all restricted he drops hard. Free up the shoulders, free up the horse. The c3 dug in behind his shoulder blades. |

Location: Montana | I've not tried mine on my front endy horse, who is also really ratey, push style (it doesn't fit her, I've tried different saddles with her, it doesn't matter, she's still front endy), but I was just guessing by the feel of it on my more free runner. I love my C3, so far. I've only ridden in it once, so I'll see if I continue to like it. I do think the swells would hold you in, but the super tall horn I think might catch your bra, LOL. |

Deep seat saddles?
