Location: Glendive Mt. | I have one and I have always liked the way it rode, the stirrups are free and it is easy to bump a horse on a shoulder if you need too. I am actually selling mine only because it doesn't fit my new horse. :(.they are very nice saddles though. |

Location: Oklahoma | I had one made in 2009. I ended up selling it in 2017. I've regretted selling it every day. Mine had full quarter horse bars and fit everything even through growth spurts. I've tried to talk to Lynn about re pricing the saddle I sold so I can see if I'd like to get another. She is so slow at getting back to me regarding pricing. I'm very disappointed and don't know if I will end up getting one because of the customer service. |

I dunno who Lynn is but call Jason directly. He loves to talk if he's not hunting lol |

Location: Oklahoma | Lynn is his wife. This has happened before too when I've looked at getting another. I understand being busy, but just not getting back to someone is plain rude. Like I said, I miss that saddle. |

Location: Desert Land | I custom ordered one when they were the hot thing - maybe 8 years ago? I had a terrible experience and their customer service down right sucked and I was lied to. I would never consider one again. |

| I bought a used one a little while ago. I really like it although I'm not 100% sure it fits my one horse .. im still on the fence about it. But it's very comfy and really pretty to look at it. I inquired to TC thru Facebook about getting the back cinch to match it since it didnt come with one. They were really fast at getting back to me and very helpful. They matched the rear cinch to my saddle that I sent them a photo of. No complaints here. |

| I’ve had 3 over many years, ordered one new and bought 2 in various states of used. They were all reasonably well made, though the leather quality from one to the next was quite different.
Ultimately I didn’t have good luck with them fitting the style of horse I’m riding mostly now and I wasn’t liking how I rode in them. It’s been a couple years since I sold the last one and moved one, so I don’t really recall the specifics anymore. |

| TC was the first saddle I ever bought new. I bought mine from a dealer shortly after I graduated high school. My metabolism has since turned on me and I am not the size I was when I ordered the saddle (that ran small to begin with) from a dealer. The dealer I ordered from was a little sketchy so when I sold my TC, I decided to contact the company and order directly from them. I had several specific questions that I needed answered. I told whoever I was speaking to (don't know who because they never gave me their name  ) that I was ready to order that day if they could give me the answer to the questions I had, nothing absurd just a few modifications that I was curious about. I was told they would contact the saddle maker and email me what he said. THREE WEEKS they answered half of one of my questions. At that point, I had already spoken to the incredible folks at Correinte and my saddle had been ordered and was a week out from being made. TC lost my business with that interaction. They made me feel like I was not valued as a customer and their customer service representative had zero knowledge of their product which is a huge pet peeve of mine. In the end, I'm thankful it happened because I am in LOVE with my new Corriente, that I was expecting to be disappointed in after how much I enjoyed my first Triple Creek.
ETA: The leather quality on my TC was outstanding. I ordered the FQHB and they are very large, only fit tank sized horses, in my experience. But honestly, for a comparable price, so many more options for customization, and a better fitting saddle, I will order Corriente from now on. TC are not worth the price/hassle IMO.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I have looked at a couple of Triple Creeks saddles that were for sale at a barrel race more then a few years back and I just was not impressed with the quality of the leather, on one saddle the skirts and jockeys were trying to roll, that was a big turn off for me. But that was a few years back so hopefully the quality of the leather is better..  |

Location: High on the hill | I am on my 2nd TC. I like how they sit and place my feet straight under me. I feel the quality has been good on both TC saddles. The things I would change.... I would not order the FQHB or dropped rigging. My first TC fit the type of horses, tall, racey made, that I tend to end up with better. It was reg bars and in skirt rigging. I ordered a Corriente this week as I’m in need of a 2nd saddle now and they are reasonably priced. I’m pleased to see the good reviews on them! For those of you that have rode both, do the Corrientes place your feet the same as the TC? I’m not a fan of forward hung stirrups and was assured when I ordered that Corriente does not hang them that way. How does the seat sit in comparison? Hoping for the same close contact. |

I have had both and while I preffered the TC, the Corriente does put my feet right under me. I think the TC was a little more comfortable and higher quality, but I don't have any complaints about my Corriente! |

I didn’t read everything because I’m kinda lame like that, but I have three corrientes. I love them all. Won two, hubby bought me one. They’re all wonderful. I have one with the free rigging or whatever it is that the stirrups come thru the fenders. My feet stay under me on all of them, but I feel I can move them where I want pretty freely. They fit every horse I put them on. Highly recommend them. I’ve never had a triple creek, but I’ve looked into them a lot! I like the look and the style. |
