Veteran Posts: 144	I'm looking to buy a new saddle with a turquoise seat. Was looking at ProRider, but they can't do some of the things I was wanting. Looked at PCS and they have the color I'm looking for, but it's in ostrich.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1162 Location: White Mountains of AZ	I agree with this..what good is looking "in style" if you're slipping and sliding all over the dang place during a run! Get something you are comfortable with, even if it means not "in style" and kick butt!!

I personally won't buy another full quill ostrich saddle. It wore out WAY too quickly on all four saddles I acquired with it on the seat... Looks sharp... for a season... I'm a tack and saddle junkie...
