Yes, nice saddle but ended up selling for a pro rider that I liked better. They have a really tall horn and almost fit like a frontier saddle. Kinda made for people who don't have a butt either lol

I had one, rode it for years.  Really liked it and liked the deep seat, but it also had a really high horn.  Some people like the high horn, but I didn't.  Anyway, it seemed to be really wide and didn't fit my new horse so I wound up selling it.

I have a Frontier Futurity and have ridden in a Stivers.  They look the same, but the Stivers is like the guy version and the Frontier is like the womans version.  They are/were made by the same saddlery.  I have had my bra hook on the horn multiple times over the years no matter how I've tried to work around that.  Other than the horn being in my way at times I love how the saddle rides.  It does not fit every horse tho - it fits best on higher withered horses.  My more classically built Zan stallion hates the saddle and will pin his ears at me as soon as it sets on his back.  I rode my rocket mare in it and it kept me in the seat well and yet let me up out of the seat too.

I have rode in pro riders for years. Very nice saddle without breaking the bank. I also purchased a triple creek saddle a year ago and they have also become a favorite as well. Both saddles have been on multiple horses from narrow colts to my built like a brick house open horses. I have never had either saddles not fit a horse.

I had several of them and they were the most uncomfortable saddle Iโ€™ve ever ridden in!!! My bottom was always so sore especially after a show. You couldnโ€™t pay me to go on a trail ride in one!!! I got a double j and then realized that not all saddles will do that! The tree is really narrow as is the ground seat and it just made it terribly uncomfortable and Iโ€™m sure it wasnโ€™t the greatest for my horse...but that was before I knew better and the saddle fit craze occurred.

For a lower end saddle I much prefer a pro rider and I actually really like the Brett Monroe series. My boyfriend has a couple and I actually kind of like them. I still ride in double js tho.

Thank you everyone! 
I have never owned a top of the line saddle, I actually loved my saddlesmith saddles but I need a bigger seat and something to get me sat down more... I think the bigger seat will help the struggle the most.. but my horses aren't high withered either... round back more then anything :) Thank you again everyone! I have seen those pro riders and they looked nice
