Performance Saddle Company. Just got my first. Not only does it fit my horse, but it has really helped me sit better already and I haven't even run in it yet. Excellent crastsmanship and quality, great personal attention even post sale.

I would love to be able to buy another PSC saddle.  I bought one back when they were called H3 and love it.   I bought a twist tree for the horse I had at the time, but now wish I had a flat tree for the horses I have now.  I agree with the above post they are quality made and super comfy!!

wyoming barrel racer - 2014-07-23 4:29 PM

I had the priveledge and am still reeling from the experience, of meeting Meleta Brown and having her help me saddle fit 2 horses. One is 9yrs old and always threatened to buck/crow hop if his saddle moved forward just the slightest which made ranching and of course barrel racing, a bit of a challange. My big hunter prospect has also been interesting. I ran the 9yr old using her saddle for 3 days and he just got better and better until the 3rd day he was actually rating the barrels and having some take off out of them and running home. Night and day difference!!! I ordered one of her newer designs just yesterday. Money is def an object, but I can either spend the money and enjoy my horses (and not hitting dirt) or keep trying all these other brands. Her advice about saddle fit just made perfect sense.

I have had her new freedom saddle for about a month, and yes it is a night and day difference!! I went from waiting for the buck to enjoying feeling my horse free up under me because she figured out the saddle wasn't hurting her. Love the saddle, and yes...I got tired of hitting the dirt too!!

I have mine as well...... Double J hands down.  I have ridden a lot of saddles & this saddle has fit many different horses well.  The ride is outstanding & they are well made.  I am also a fan of Ammermans, specifically the Libby Hurleys.  I have 2 and LOVE them for colt riding or outside horses. Other good ones are Shiloh Jordan Peterson Contenders & Caldwell Rockets.

I love my Jeff Smith cutter.  I've had one of everything it seems including Caldwells, Coats, Shilohs and most of the others and this saddle rides as balanced, or moreso than any of those and seems to fit my horses really nice.

Now I am in a panic, because I am about to be getting the tall one back from a short week of boot camp (for even wanting to try and buck) and the only saddle I have that fit him is my super heavy silver show saddle (and we are a loooong way off from showing). So I guess I will lug that heavy thing up on him until mine comes.
