Horse Supplies & Tack Supplies

Just arrived today, and I must say that the only way I could be more satisfied with this saddle is if Boyd Martin and Oliver Townend had been included to give me privet lessons with their shirts off, and with the wonderful service that I’ve received with Horse.com I’m sure that’s just around the corner hahaha. The leather on the seat and panels is SO soft that I didn’t experience any of the “new saddle slipperiness” that usually comes with a seat that hasn’t been ridden much, and though the flaps were a little stiff they broke in with only one ride! And for another bonus it matches flawlessly with the rest of my stitched Collegiate tack. I was originally a little hesitant to buy this saddle because there were no reviews and it was a little pricy, even for a collegiate, but now that I have it in my hands I can say for sure that it was worth every penny. After having it at the barn for only a day I’ve received complement after compliment, and some of my fellow boarders don’t even believe that it’s a Collegiate until I show them the stamp, because it looks to be the same quality and color as a Pessoa or even an Amerigo. The adjustable tree was a dream come true, within 10 or so minutes I had the saddle adjusted to my horse exactly, though I almost wasn’t able to because of the tool needed for the tree, luckily one of my friends rides a Bates and she had her gullet change kit with her, so I was able to borrow that tool, so word to the wise “you can’t adjust this saddle with a regular screw driver.” I paid extra to have my order shipped to me a little quicker, but it arrived a couple days over a week after I placed my order, and that was a little disappointing, though I suppose that’s really to be expected because it was in transit over the Thanks Giving weekend and I do live a bit off the beaten path, so overall I’m VERY happy with the horse.com service because within the site I was able to track my order on my phone, which was very convenient. So overall I would give this saddle a 10 out of 10 and would recommend it to ANYONE looking for a very high quality saddle that they could get in a matching set for under 2000$
