I just bought a brand spanken new saddle.It's "The Proven" by Circle Y. My trainer agreed that it's a good fit. Not PERFECT but it fits her the best out of the saddles I tried on. She has gone to fitting clinics for saddles and so I trust her judgement PLUS my balance has improved and my legs are where they are suppose to be instead of forward >.<
Anyways,I love it! It's FQHB with a 14" seat and has hip huggers to hold you in! I left blue marks on the rough out from my jeans.










There is a small crack on the metal so I told them and circle y is sending a new one to be put on. I didn't want it to be flawed since it's a brand new saddle...just wouldn't be the same!

Thanks everyone. I ran Gidget on the track with it and it really holds you in well. Your legs are where they are suppose to be. My other saddle made my legs go forward and it go in the way with Gidget's legs but this one puts them back and become more centered. I love the high cantle and the seat is squishy!

Thanks everyone!
Glad ya'll like it as much as I do and if I ever do sell it as I will probably upgrade I will put it up for grabs on here.

$300 brand new? Or is it used?

I decided on getting a new one so I don't have to worry about the tree being cracked,broken,twisted or having one stirrup longer than the other from mounting...you know the things that go along with buying a used saddle...not saying this always happens but I figured I would buy it. Looks super on Gidget. I pick it up this week so I will get pictues of it on her.

The saddle doesn't even squeak like a lot of new saddles do. Very good quality leather.
