| Have you had a corriente saddle? What do you think? Yes? No? Hell no? Have a 4-Her asking me, and I have never owned one. They can't afford over $800, so the higher end saddles are not a possibility, even used. |

| I've seen a few and they are pretty decent quality for the cheaper end of the spectrum. I know quite a few people who are happy with them as well! |

| They are GREAT long lasting well made saddles for the money. THey just do not fit every horse. I won one over 10 years ago and it held up awesome with regular use. Sold it because it does not fit my flatter shouldered, wide backed horses. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I just won one and i LOVE it. But it doesnt fit either of my horses the way i would like it to. It dumps down too far forward on both. One horse i can get away with shimming, but my narrower guy just cant make it work. Which sucks because hes the one i won it with lol go figure. thats my luck! other than that VERY nicely made and comfy! |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Nice saddles for the money, nice to have a saddle maker that builds a discent saddle for someone that dont have alot of money to spend. Pretty well built but dont fit all horses, to bad you dont have a choice of different trees to try but I guess thats why they are affordable..  |

Location: Somewhere around here | I had one and I didn't like it. Maybe if I was able to literally try it more sales and see what I liked the most I'd be happier but oh well. Plus it was too narrow for my horse so I happily sold it. |

| They are well made saddles that fit a variety of horses. I have won several, and sold a few. You won't have any trouble selling one if it doesn't work for you. |

Location: Texas | its definitely not my favorite brand of saddle, but I think for the budget they are in it's a great choice. Better than buying some super old, heavily used name brand saddle in my opinion. |

Location: East Texas | We have several brands of saddle in the barn, but my 7th grade daughter likes one of her corrientes the best, and it has held up well over the last 2 years of use. They seem to be pretty good saddles for the $$$. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Hubby bought me one, and since then I have won 2. I have never ridden a base model. But for under $1200, I have been happy with my two(waiting for the third to arrive). I think they’re wonderful quality for the price. They offer plenty of upgrades to make me happy and feel unique. They have great customer service. And my saddles have fit every horse I’ve thrown them up on, just change pads. I’ve never had an issue with Corrientes fitting. I’ve had trouble with every other saddle I’ve owned. I can’t WAIT for my new one to arrive. Should ship out next week!
I would encourage getting the roughout fenders and jockeys tho. One I had fully tooled with a suede bicycle seat, and it’s a little too slick. |

Location: SoCal | I found that they tend to dump down on most my horses. It fits best on my TB, who has a pretty normal wither (not like a sharkfin like some TB's) to her and is broad. She's a big girl, 16.1hh and probably 1300#, and isn't narrow by any means. I can ride her in it with a loose cinch and breeze her out and the saddle won't slide. Haven't made a run in it yet but hoping to tomorrow on her. However, it does not fit my flatter backed, flatter withered cowhorses. Dumps down way too much on them, I just think the angles/rock fits best with a good set of withers. I have to ride them with a biofit in order for it to fit decently and keep it from dumping down, I also use the shoulder relief cinch that helps kinda hold it in place. My TB is fine in her regular alpaca roper style cinch with it, and like I said, I can ride it loose on her.
I will say I greatly prefer the rough out seat, jockey and fenders. Also love their pencil roll cantle as it sits me deeper. I have a slick jockey/fender and another with a tooled jockey/fender, both with padded seats, and I strongly dislike the padded suede and regular Cheyenne roll. The slick isn't too bad, but it is just that, slick. The suede seat isn't the worst on it and it's a little big anyways so I can ride in it somewhat comfortably. Then I don't care for how deep the grooves are in their tooling, it seems to catch my legs/pants a lot so I don't ride in the tooled one at all. My rough out and full tooled ones are barrel saddles, roughout the "new style" and tooled the "old style". My slick one is a ranch cutter, it's wide but fits well when padded up. All are trophy saddles otherwise the tooled one would have been sold a long time ago. I think I've ridden in it once and hated it so much I just threw it to the top shelf of the saddle rack. The ranch cutter has less than 10 rides (it was a queen saddle, so only used for appearances), but I've probably put already 15 rides in the rough out in the last month (not using it consistently) and it seems to fit me best. |

| I just bought a saddle from Sheridan Saddle from their in stock page here.https://sheridanbuckleco.com/collections/in-stock-saddles I love my saddle to say the least. I called because I was a little worried to just order it online and not talk to someone. I called and talked to Wade Baize. He was very helpful and he suggested I order a Sheridan Ranch Saddle to be sure I had the strength to drag and rope with because of spring calving season here in Colorado. I ordered one they had in stock and here is a picture of it on my horse. I am so happy with it. I am currently using their online saddle builder to build one for my barrel horse right now...FULLY CUSTOM. I am so excided.  |
