Functional Saddle
I got this saddle as a gift from High school graduation in 2004 and to this day in 2014 use it, their fairly durable, it still looks pretty new. It doesn't have any padding on the seat of any kind which on a long ride gets really painful. I have never been able to turn the stirrups out so when i ride my knees and ankles get sore from continuously fighting the inward turn on them. It fight my anglo arab fine but my younger QH it doesn't and leave uneven sweat marking. The seat is very slippery and if your not well balanced yet or a beginner rider you have a hard time holding a correct position in it.Dad got one for himself and the metal sheath cover for adjusting the stirrups broke on the second ride out. But at least his saddle has some padding :)

poor craftsmanship
I just bought this saddle last week it doesn't fit my horse its a 6inch gullet not 7. The craftmanship is very poor my saddle horn had glue all over the post saddle strings were nailed to the tree not thru the tree. It looked like whoever built the saddle didn't care bout quality. Wont ever buy another american saddlery saddle again

Old-Time Design
I had an old saddle built like this. It was the most comfortable I've ever ridden. Need to see more swells like this and deep seats, plus the forward hanging stirrups!!!! Really keeps you in the saddle. Thanks so much for bringing it back.

love it
I love this saddle! It's well made, very secure, and fits every stock type horse I've ever put it on. Several of my friends love it also. This saddle is also very easy to clean. No tooling to work with (I think tooling is over rated.)
