Regular Posts: 65 Location: south GA	I've seen several double t's start coming apart. They are just plain cheaply made. Circle S is a little nicer quality than double t seems like. I had one at one time and I hated it. It threw my feet back horribly in a run. I sold it after using it 3 or 4 times so I am not sure on how well they hold up.

Veteran Posts: 294	I agree save your money or look for a used Billy Cook. If you really want to go with a little better quality than the Double T and S while still keeping your cost down you might want to check out Corriente saddles. Edited by Guiness 2013-11-21 8:27 AM

Veteran Posts: 294	I forgot to mention that my friend has a Double T. It just does not sit right on her horse. There is just something wierd about it.

Elite Veteran Posts: 816	Dobule T's aren't manufactured in the US. I think they are putt together overseas and then shipped back. Seen a few of them and they look like they should fit a camel not a horse. I would highly recommend to not buy one. They really dip forward, stirrups are set really far back, and there are reviews on them that the bolts stick out underneath and some parts are just glues together. I wouldn't want to cripple my horse with one. Look on craigslist, even if you buy a really used name brand one it would probably be better than a brand new double T.

Sock eating dog owner Posts: 4553 Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah	Pass on those brands, From pictures you can see it is a no quality saddle. If your gonna barrel race use a quality saddle. to many things can go wrong even when using good equipment. You just can't beat good leather products.
