Location: The best kept secret in TX | Curious how these barrel saddles seat you? Do they position you well?
Looking at them they seem to seat you back in the saddle up to the cantle.
Wish the backs were higher... Wonder if they could do a different cantle for my fat butt... I tend to go over the back end when he fires out of his pocket  |

Location: SE Oklahoma | I was on their website all day yesterday looking at saddles. Then came here and found this thread. haha I'm still using my ole trusty billy cook saddle I got 16 years ago. But its starting to fall apart and I don't trust it. My only other saddle is my trophy saddle thats an all around saddle and not that great for barrels. I'm wondering if you can customize them any? I LOVE their "cutting" saddle, wonder if they could make a barrel saddle in those colors/stitching. All their barrel saddles are really light leather and I like the darker colors. My friend has one of their saddles and I've rode in it a few times and I really liked it. |

Location: Missouri | For those of you asking about customization - my daughter COMPLETELY customized hers. Cantle height, tooling, seat color - I'm telling ya - they can do ANYTHING! And they are really good with suggestions - as in if you say "any suggestions"..they have them. Love working with Corriente! Granted hers is a roping saddle on an association tree, but they did everything to HER specs. |

I've been needing to find a new saddle for my very wide mare... I like saddles with more forward hung stirrups. Do those of you who have a Corriente feel like the stirrups hang nicely?
Their stirrups are not forward hung, but they do let you put your legs where you want them. Not restricting at all. As for fitting a wider horse, not so much. I have a gelding who takes a ProMax tree in the Caldwell saddles, and the corrientes dont fit him at all. Not enough flare in the bars for him. But everything else they fit really well. Love them and they are comfortable. I mainly ride them when I'm working colts and such, they hold up really well, and keep the wear and tare off the competition saddles. |

It is their half breed I believe. It is under the bargain tab. It is the one I want as well... |

OMG I do that too! lol And it DOES NOT feel good to land on that thing with my bony rear end lol
My dad ordered aCorriente about 5 years ago, he cowboys for a living- he rides in it most all day most everyday. He loves it. He's been on me to replace my Kim Thomas (poor OLD thing) with one for years. Swears I'll love it.
