Right now it's about $600 cheaper to order the Reinsman brand. Any thoughts or opinions on who I should go with? Want to make sure I get the best quality. Thanks for your opinions!

I've never heard anybody that rides one complain about it either. On the other hand I had a charmayne james cactus and I HATED that thing lol. It's quality was ok I just hated the saddle.

I Prefer to Live in Fantasy Land Posts: 64864 Location: In the Hills of Texas	From what I've always understood is that the trees are Marlenes so no matter who makes it the tree is the same. I saw a few Reinsman saddles and I wasn't impressed. You need to try to see both and decide for yourself, but I thought Reinsman is the only company now making her saddle.

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3314 Location: Jersey Girl	I ordered a Reinsman Marlene and it was too narrow for my horse. I now have a Cactus Marlene and it fits him nicely. I paid about $200 more for the Cactus model (practically new). The leather is better quality then the Reinsman.
