| Did a quick search and I guess a Brazilian Saddle?

| It's a Brazilian saddle. Unless you have killer core strength and legs made of iron...it probably isn't a wise choice for a saddle. |

| Tiany's saddle is a Brazilian saddle. She has been riding them for years. There are several people around here that ride with them and love them. Tiany probably weighs 98 soaking wet but she does ride those to cut down on weight. |

| Someone on here recently said that these saddles are very cheap to make. I think it was around $300 when it's all said and done. The saddles sell for $1700. That's an insane markup in price. I personally don't not like the look of them. They do not look like they would hold up well over time. The seller says they do not handle use like a quality leather saddle does. You are only supposed to race in them, not work in them. |

The price and mark up are true.
These saddles are imported and will sore your horse faster than you can blink your eyes....
It may be working for her but you have to remember, she sells them. She endorses them. She makes the money on each saddle sold directly. You won't hear from her the negatve side effects of this saddle. You won't ever hear her talk about the therapies she must have to do to keep her horses from getting sore. I am very curious what saddle she works her horses in because I can promise it's not the Brazillian saddle.
These saddles are a no go for anyone who knows anything about a quality saddle and what it can do for your horse and your horse's health.... I'd rather be an entire second slower than her than put that saddle on my horse's back...  |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Tiany is a very talenty rider she would win races in any type of saddles heck she could win in a rope saddle if she wanted too.
I'm not a fan of the Brazilian saddles myself, very poorly made saddles. But works for her

| She has been a rep for that particular saddle maker for quite some time now. Way before she made her bid at the NFR. |

LMAO!!!! Yes, she does work out like a little demon! Edwin having equipment for her sure doesn't hurt! As for the Brazilian saddles, I will just say that I'll stick to my stoney, thank you very much  |

Well she clearly has $$$$$$$$ I doubt selling these saddles really helps her get down the road. They may be junk but I bet she wouldn't use one if she didn't believe in them. |

Assuming nothing catastrophic happens and she keeps competing she will most likely walk away with it. But if for some reason she couldn't compete at the NFR, someone could easily overtake her. $60k for the aggregate and what, $20k per round or close to it. Last year Mary had a huge lead and still had to win a few checks or she wouldn't have won the way it pays now. |

It's simple marketing. Every time she wins people will want to know more about this saddle. She has to believe in it.

Location: OH | Tiany has talent---always has. I wondered for many years why she was never at the NFR and IMO---she finally decided to make the push that it takes to do it.
What many newer people on here may not realize, back in the early days of BHW--she was a daily regular on here. Kinda cool to see one of our own finally make the big time. Things we can all dream of--she is making it happen.
