| I did. It only came up with their FB page (which has good reviews besides ppl that seemed to have ordered thru a 3rd party that didn't recieve all this person said would come with their saddle order) and some old ads for Slaton roping saddles. That's why I was hoping somebody here had heard if them amd could speak to their quality. |

| Ok, but what if you were buying a used saddle of his from somebody else? I saw several bad reviews about how he does business but nothing on the quality of his work. I'm not really worried about how he does business since I won't be doing business with him. So I am looking for information on quality. She wants $1600 for it and I would like to know if they are actually worth that. |

Thanks for the responses! I definitely wouldn't be getting a saddle through him. Are you saying that his saddles aren't good quality along with him not being an ethical businessman? The saddle I'm looking at is a year old and I would be buying it used from somebody else. Since i wouldn't be doing business with him, would you say his saddles would we worth $1600 shipped? Or do you not know about the quality of his work, just his shady business practices? |

Thank you! It's supposes to be on a modified Buster Welch tree, which I have heard good things about. I didn't think about if he is super shady that he might not hsve built it the way he told this girl he did.
Lol, it is a full roughout hard seat which is exactly what I want, but is hard to find something for my wide backed mare that is even close to my price range that is a hard seat. |
