Location: In The Snow, AZ | It seems like forever ago that hubby ordered it. But ALAS, my 14" JBN came. I haven't had much time to play with it yet. The colors and conchos are beatiful. I haven't noticed any issues as far as it not being built correctly (I've read the JBNs have had some issues). Granted, I've not yet ridden in it. I put it on my mare yesterday and lunged her. I'm worried it may be a hair too narrow for her. It kept wanting to slide foward on her withers. In saying that, I have not yet put my leather latigo and billets on it yet. So the nylon stuff may be stretching and giving it enough movement to slide. I will also be experimenting with different pads. I do hope my BestEver pad will be ok for it. But anyways, pictures....

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, it was raining all day yesterday, so I didn't get the chance to play with it anymore. But today is a new day! Looks bright, sunny, and windy.  |

Location: Wisconsin | Mine came yesterday too! And yes, when i put it on my beef cake he looked like a camel it sat up so high, and i ordered a wide!! However after first ride it came down some, and today i rode for a while in it and it now fits like a glove. First time i havent had a dry spot on in him in 2 yrs. I was a sceptic let me tell you after reading some posts. I inspected it throughly also!! Now to make a run in it.. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I agree with it seeming to sit up super high. So I'm glad to hear it will setlle after use. Hoping today is the day. No wind or rain in the forecast. Looking foward to feeling a difference in myself and my horse. This is my first new saddle, I think I picked a good one. |
