I've had 3 of them. Overall very good quality, well made. 1st saddle - 15" md fine for trail riding and dry work but feels big for competing 2nd saddle - 14.5" md was really small for me. Like could barely squeeze myself in it and NO way I could ride in it. Literally never put it on a horse. 3rd saddle - 14.5" fdx just a fuzz too small For my butt and legs the seat style (fd or md) made a big difference in how big or small the seat size felt to me. I much prefer the x seat. The non x seats feel like they push me forward. My "complaint" is the first saddle was a 20 tree. Seat felt big for me so I bought a smaller seat but still with a 20 tree. When I opened the box I could tell this 20 was more narrow than my first 20. Put it on my mare and there was a big difference. I took mesaurments of both saddles, contacted Burns via messsenger and sent pictures, wondering if it was a custom tree and not labeled different. They said it was a normal 20 tree - yet they were visibly different. They asked if my horse was symmetrical. I simply replied yes but it seemed like an odd question. I'm not asking how it fits her, I wondering why the trees are very different yet labeled the same. My horse isn't changing in the 2 minutes it takes to switch from one saddle to the other. No response to my reply. I'm not mad that the tree is different but going forward if I purchase another saddle how do I know if my original 20 tree is the normal 20 of if this more narrow one is the normal 20??? I was not satisfied with zero response so I called. Talked to a guy, said he'd look into it. Never called me back. Five days later I called him again and he didn't know. He said "sometimes the trees just change shape and warp". hmmmmmm |
