| Any experiences/rides with a corriente? I just got one for pretty cheap to ride in daily etc. But never ridden in one. It's in pretty good shape and looks good. Any likes or dislikes about these saddles? |

Yeah I've heard the new ones are alright. But this one looks older than the stuff they're making now. I kind of like mine used lol |

I doubt I'll run much in it right now lol mostly for practice and general riding when I can ride. |

I have been riding in them since September, just bought my own custom made one and it arrived a few weeks ago.
It fits my horses like a dream, it's super comfortable and I don't come out of the saddle.
And for how inexpensive they are I feel they are great! I am going to buy a second one soon! |

| I won one in 2002 and in 2012. The 2002 has held up really well. I don't think you can beat them for the price. They seem to to fit a variety of horses, are light weight, and are comfortable. |

Location: Desert Land | I'm not a fan. I feel like their price definiately reflects the quality. Saw a pic of a brand new one a gal had this weekend with a warped tree. |
