| I only ride in deep seats now. My favorite was my 2013 Shiloh JP Contender. My 2018 pozzi pro is similar but in my opinion, the Shiloh was much higher quality leather. |

ETA: It has no rise. It's flat seat cutter with high swells and forward set horn. It is very well balanced.

Location: South Georgia | THE pozzi has a nice deep seat. The whole saddle really feels like I’m right on my horses back, instead of on the saddle above it. |

| I love my Burns with a deep seat and a mid rise. I’ve been running a lot of small patterns lately and sometimes I don’t even make it to the horn - no problems.
I had a C3 which is also super deep...I didn’t realize how much my back was hurting in it until I switched to the Burns. They can be too deep.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I wanted to add also that my Caldwell has a very good feel to it, not quite as deep as a Pozzi but just as good feeling. |

Location: Arizona | I had a C3 and I have Pozzi Pro....they ride similiar, nice and centered, comfortable, they both kept me in my seat. The C3 saddle in my opinion was a little better quality than the Pozzi, however, I had to sell the C3 because it just didn't fit my mare the way it should, and this was their "wide" fit. I still ride in the Pozzi. |

| Thanks! I’m going to check these all out. I hope to find a good used one. Not just because less expensive but I like a saddle that’s been broken in.  |

| A friend of mine just bought a Pozzi and the seat is soo deep, she had trouble getting her leg over the cantle when she got on (but she has had several hip replacements - ON that same leg). She sent me a pic and I don't think I'd ever seen a seat that deep! |

Location: Georgia | The Brazilian saddles probably have the deepest seats ive ever sat in for a treed saddle. C3 was the next in line. |

Hmm, I don’t find my Pozzi as extreme as she did, I guess.

Location: Tennessee | I love my Team Camarillo! Nice deep seat. Keeps you in the middle of your horse and you can put your legs in front of you or keep them centered under you. |

Location: Texas | I really like the Shiloh Contender. They are well made and not overpriced. There is a facebook page "Shiloh Saddles for Sale" that usually has several good ones. |

Location: NE Texas | Mike Green Custom Ride (the new ones Southern Rose Ranch is making, not the old triple creek or frontier versions). Best riding saddle out there and I feel like i've ridden them all at one point or another. Puts you right where you need to be through a turn, yet everything out of the way when it's time to get up and jockey. I've never felt so secure in a saddle or better positioned through a run. Absolutely love it!

I have a Double J Speedster and that's exactly how it feels. I went from riding treeless for 6+ years to it and absolutely love it.
I had ridden in a Pozzi before buying this one, and it felt very similar as far as the seat goes. |

I bought mine from Coolhorse through Ebay. They had it listed both places, and Ebay has the "best offer" option, they accepted my offer plus it was free shipping through Ebay.
On used saddles, Coolhorse has a 30 day return policy, plus you're allowed to ride in them lightly since they're used. They also told me had I sent the saddle back, I would've gotten a full refund, not store credit.
Definitely worth a look! |
