| Yes! Jason (Triple Creek) has two tree with different amounts of rock. I spent over a year trying to find a decent fitting saddle. Finally gave up and just ordered one. Fits perfect! He took his tree and modified it to fit my horses back. Ed Steele (the tree maker Jason builds on can build you a custom tree) |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | They actually do fit a wide variety of horses. I have 2 and they are night and day different. One I custom made and the other I bought new off facebook cause it was purty. The custom has fit just about everything. The fancy pretty one hasn't fit much because it has a flare front. Well the other saddle isn't fitting my coming 3yr old so I tried the flare front one and it seems to be just what he needs. Glad I finally get to use it. |

They fit great if you order the right tree size for your horse.. |

I've actually found the opposite to be true... Mine fits a very wide variety! I really like them, and for the money they are great saddles. |

Location: Up and over to the right | I have one and it fits both of my geldings great. I tried a Double J and I was tipping like crazy in it. I find my TC much more comfortable and stable. Would love to invest in a roping saddle so I'm not so worried when I do break-away. |

Location: The money window | I LOVE my Triple Creek!
It fits my horse like a glove, and fit my mom's horse as well -- even though he has a completely different build.
I personally love the way it rides because it doesn't feel like you're sitting on a couch. You really feel the horse move beneath you. There's a review on the Triple Creek website that describes it as having a bareback type feel, and I agree! In a good way that is. I feel like I have a free range of movement in this saddle, and I haven't had trouble getting up between barrels.
Next saddle I get will probably be another Triple Creek.
Did I mention it's freaking gorgeous?

Location: North MS | Re-sale value seems to be kind of tanked. I had my mothers listed on here for over a month and only got one nibble who later backed out. Someone offered me $400 shipped. Nope- not for a saddle that cost WELL more than that. So buyer beware on selling one later. |

Location: Minnesota | I had bought a used one a few years ago and I LOVED it, fit my horses great, fit me great, great quality. I liked it soo much that I placed an order for a custom one (truly the saddle of my dreams!! It was VERY custom). Long story short the saddle I got was not anything that I had ordered, had the wrong tree, wrong tooling, had to send it back, they fixed the tooling (they literally forgot to paint half of it..how does that happen??) and the custom tooling was wrong. They wouldnt fix the tree, said it was the one I ordered. The quality was terrible and it took over 9 months before I finally got the saddle (ext. 6-8 weeks after ordering). I would NEVER buy another one after their crappy customer service and the quality of work. I wish I never would have sold the older one I had bought, that one was actually a nice saddle. |
