Is this a good saddle?

[ghostz]

Does anyone know about these saddles? Where do they sell them at?
Is this a good trail saddle?

How much are they? Are they good quality?

The brand is TSI Saddlery
Here is a picture..

This is just my opinion..........

I've heard of the name.......don't know anything about the saddle........from the looks of the seat........I would not be comfortable in that saddle at all.......I like a deep seat with a rise in the front (for a woman).......I prefer an older well made saddle as they tend to last forever and the seat holds you in the correct position and you have a much more secure seat if anything spooks your horse ...I personally use the older retired show saddles for trail riding.......we ride for many hours sometimes 8 hours at a time and need comfortable well broke in saddles so we don't get sore. You can usually pick up a nice name brand older saddle for $300-500.00 and they will usually last for the rest of your riding life unless you need a different size...........hope that helps!!!

What size saddle are you looking for? What breed of horse?

A friend of mine bought one from that company once, ( only hers was a roper style) and she got screwed over, lost her behind on it when she realized it was cheaply made and ill fitting for both her and her horse. I think she dummied up and paid like $400 for hers and ended up taking it to a auction and letting it go for $140.00 IMHO she was fortunate to get that. I wouldn't give a wooden nickle for tack made by that company after seeing hers. NTY not a fan of poorly manufactured equipment.

I used to have a saddle with a deep ranch style seat like that, but it was better quality and the shape was totally different. That cantle looks strange, being so straight like that. If you want the high cantle like that, look for ranch saddles.

The saddle in the picture does not look like a good well made saddle. The cantle was the first thing I noticed, I also don't like the shape of the skirting. Not the skirt style, just the way it is. Does not look like its made by a company that knows horses. Looks China made.

Well I recently bought a horse and this saddle came with her...
It looked like it may be a semi quarter saddle....
The horse I purchased is a very stocky quarter horse, so I really didn;t think the saddle fit her anyway....
I called the seller and asked about saddle fit and she said it was kind of narrow on her...
So I am going to try to sell it and buy her a saddle that fits...

I am looking for a 16" seat... I am thinking I need a FQH bars but not sure yet.. I like round skirts and am willing to pay for a good quality saddle for trail riding...
I will probably have her professionally fitted.

Thanks for your help..
