Location: North Dakota -> Colorado | I guess I only have used the Three Forks Merrill saddle. They mostly just make rope saddles other than the Merrill, I do believe. I loved my Three Forks. They were great to work with when I bought mine, and I had to call two separate times, so there was a mixup and the saddle I recieved was wrong, but they took the one I received back and remade one for me with no problems and never a fuss! Super great to work with, and customer service wise, if you are looking at ordering straight from them. |

Location: Tex. Panhandle | I have someone interested in one I have for sale and they were wanting to trade. I've heard great things about the merril saddles and knew that three forks makes the merrills. It's a nice looking saddle. Just didnt know much about them. |

Location: Always on call..... | I Was going to ask this same question! Saw several ropers this past weekend with Three Forks saddles and they are exactly the style I was going to try to custom order from NRS. They did look like nice saddles and all the people who had them at the roping loved them. |

Location: Southeastern Idaho | I rope in a Three Forks and I love it. Can't say anything about the barrel saddles, but I would imagine they are built with similar high quality. This saddle sets me up just right and I feel very secure. I don't have to work as hard to keep my legs where they need to be. Great saddle that is holding up really well with a lot of use. |

Good to hear - thanks for the input! I am seriously going to look into these this summer when I am ready to get another roping saddle. I wish I would have asked to sit in one of the ones I saw. |

Location: Southeastern Idaho | I should have gotten this saddle YEARS ago, would have made a big difference in my roping then. Now that I am older but still have the roping bug, its nice to have the secure feeling but yet be able to move and adjust with your horse. I don't think you would regret a Three Forks. |
