Location: Where its too expensive! | What do you guys think of these saddles? I have seen some post saying they push your legs forward. Is this true? Other posts say they are great I'm looking for a saddle with a deep seat that keeps me centered and I feel secure in. I found a Pozzi I like just want some opinions before spending that kind of money. |

| I liked the one I rode in for a week. A friend let me borrow hers. I like the pocket and I can be a bit of a physical rider with my lower body (as needed to keep my mare's rear under her) - the swing from the fenders and stirrups worked well for me. I would recommend trying one before buying - there are so many different saddles for different riders and horses too.
Good Luck! |

| I love mine. I'm a senior rider, and need a little extra help these days. This really helped me a ton. As far as the swing in the stirrups, it worked great for me. It's almost as though it allows your feet to be wherever you naturally ride, so that if you have your feet more under you, it can work, or if you sit back and your feet go a bit forward, it holds you there as well. I didn't feel that they pushed me forward, but rather let my feet go forward, make sense?

Yes you made sense, I have a few of the Pozzi's and you said it pretty darn good  |

Location: South Dakota | I love my Pozzi and would agree with what Chicks2 said about the stirrups. I always think of really comfortable jeans, lol! Seriously though, I feel really secure but have freedom to move in my Pozzi. |

Location: Texas | I just bought my second one! I Love Them! I did have my new one done with a custom tree. The pozzi topside and the Pro bars under it. Has a more universal fit than a standard Pozzi.

I'm going to try yours one of these days. I love it that you buy the saddles I want to try out so I can decide if I want to spend the money or not. You're such a buddy. |

Ditto on what they both said. Love my new pozzi, I'm an older rider too, I can use 2 hands more and I don't feel like I'm going over my horses head when we turn the first barrel. Leather is not as thick as Martin saddles and not priced as low as Martin but I was willing to pay the price to feel secure |
