          Location: Riding Crackhead. | americanpride08 - 2015-03-24 2:16 PM hoofs_in_motion - 2015-03-24 2:13 PM no because those are cheaply made saddles.....and Id rather spend money on a quality saddle, than having to constantly pay vet bills/chiro because of an ill fitting saddle Lol well I meant, like just the colors. I mean, most places will custom your saddle how you want it if you pay for it. I'm not big on bright. But I kind of like the turquiose, it's still a bit much though. A little less blue would be prettier. I just like the accented color.
ETA: I don't consider a 400-800 saddle cheap. But I wouldn't buy it without references. They also have the dimensions only of the saddles. If you size your horse right, you can have most saddle places adjust it to fit your horse as long as it's not a huge size difference. Just sayin'. AT tleast... the saddlery peeps I know can do that.
a $400-800 saddle is cheap. Buy a good used one. |

   Location: PNW | No.... To me, saddles like that are the parachute pants and shoulder pads of the horse world. I like a more classic timeless look so that way my saddle doesn't look "so 2015" in ten years. My closet is almost all neutral colors too. Lol |

     Location: Texas | Well I thought I would like a saddle with color... I have changed my mind now lol. I like the loud colors, and bling, and over the top. There is just something about the colored saddles that I don't like, which is odd for me. It isn't as visually appealing to me as I thought it would be.
I guess I will stick with plain brown saddles and change colors on the rest of my tack. |

I know the exact same saddle (top with beading) for sale used... Taking all of my willpower to not splurge (only a few months after my own custom double j came in and I bought a used pozzi) and buy it. LOVE! But definitely wouldn't ever go any louder than that! |

    Location: Texas | Not for me, but I never go with trends. I tend to stick with things that are traditional and never out of style.
Also, those saddles look pretty clean, but add in the regular dirt, grime, wear and tear from regular use, and I wonder how the colors would hold up. At least when non-colored saddles get dirty, it's not a huge difference. |
