Location: CTX | I have 2 at the moment. I got a used CY BM back in 2011 to see if I would like it, and it did. So I used that for quit some time.
The first new one I got in 2013 is a lighter colored one, which was the border tooled one. The only thing I did different with that was the tallest horn, and extra d-rings for the breast collar.
Last year my boy won enough for me to order another one. I got the squared skirt this time, with full oak leaf tooling. Again I got the tall horn, and the extra d-rings. So the older one is now my back up saddle. That is, untill after my mare gets her 2nd baby (she'll be bred this next spring) and then she will be legged up again.

Thank you, I really love them.
And actually, no I went with the smaller ones for cinching up. A couple of my friends had issues with the D rings turning on them. I have not have that problem so far.

I have 4 right now. The first one I bought was a 30" but I only used that with my Billy Cook saddle. And both saddle and pad are retired now.
The other 3 are all 32" long, 2 of them are 32 wide (turqouise and a black one I just got 2 weeks ago). The green one is 34" wide, but honestly I don't notice too much difference between them.
If you are buying one just know that after this Saturday they are going up $20.... |

I ordered them from Teskeys! Then I just shipped them right to BM. If you catch them on the right day, they'll have their conchos on sale. Keep an eye out! They had a pretty decent selection. Thanks! Sorry I don't have a zoomed in pic of the conchos but they are a really simple copper and antique silver floral pattern. Not a blingy person and they didn't break the bank so I can always change them out too |
