| Anybody have an opinion on corriente saddles? My husband found where he can buy them brand new online for around $800. I'm wondering if they are just made cheap or if they are actually decent saddles |

Is it a roping saddle are barrel saddle? You can get a barrel saddle brand new from them for 550.00. They might have gone up a little bit but not 800.00 for a barrel saddle. |

| I don't know about the adult saddles, but the youth are decent. They're thick, quality leather I know. we use them for trophy saddles for some youth rodeos I am on the committee for. I don't know about their longevity, but they seem well made when we handle them. They are definitely a step above your junk saddles, but not as nice as my crates or circle y. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | They are decent saddles for the money. The $850 price tag was probably for a custom saddle. I have a friend that just sold he custom for $950. She loved that saddle just needed a smaller seat. |

| I have one and I love it. They are great quality for the price. Most people will say they are cheap but for the price you can't beat them. |

Location: IM A DUDE!!!!!!! | I bought one back in 2001 brand new. It has been through hell and back. When I was breaking colts I had a couple flip over on it when they were first saddled, and it held up. I have left it out when it was raining and it never got moldy or anything. Even after all these years it still rides good and very confortble. It fits all the horses I have ever put it on. Great saddle for a great price.
Even after having for so long, it still squeeks like its brand new lol |

Location: Sweet Home Alabama | I won 2 in 2007 and 2011. Still riding in them both. I'm saving up to try and purchase another for my coming 2 y/o. Love them. Some folks call them "cheaply made" but I disagree. They're pretty durable and sturdy imo. |

| I have won a few of them, and they are really nice saddles for the money. Hold up pretty well and super comfortable to ride in. They don't fit an extremely wide horse well, but most others they do. I would prefer the sued seat, as the others are slicker than snot, especially if you have a fully tooled one like I do. Thank god they let me pick what seat I wanted. I have never had a roper, only the barrel saddles, but I wouldn't hesitate to get one of the ropers if I roped. Owners are super nice people, and very easy to work with. |

Location: Arkansas | My husband has a Corriente association saddle that he has had for 12 or 13 years. I has been used and abused and is still solid. Looks rough but like I said: used and abused. |

| Great saddles for the price and Wayne and the girls are great to work with. I've probably ordered and given away over 30 of them in the last several years at ropings. Most of the people that win these saddles, use them hard and love them. |
