I used an Abetta. I got my first one because I had to find one with narrow tree for my old horse. I know you can find them in both narrow trees and regular ones. I don't remember how much they cost. |

Yes.... And if you are thinking of synthetic, look at the Fabtron. I believe it is a much nicer saddle. | |

I think I would prefer to stick with leather, I just like the look better. | |

Too bad you are far away - I have a semi QH bar 16 inch Billy Royal for sale - super nice for $600. I like Billy Royal, they use nice quality materials. | |

BUT I believe they are all hard seats and I don't believe it comes in a narrow tree. The website has Wayne's phone number so you can talk to him first hand and ask what you need to. | I have the same saddle but with square skirts and many more hours in it! I have had padded seats in saddles before and I like the hard seats better. | |

OOH, I am absolutely in love with the 4th saddle on the Corriente Saddles page. Might have to go saddle shopping a little early! Kevin, since you have had yours for a while, I have a question for you, how do you think it would do for someone with a bigger butt? I have found that even though I am not fat by any means (I'm 140lbs) with my bigger butt and hips I have a difficult time finding a saddle that is comfortable for me to ride in for any period of time... just your opinion, do you think a Corriente would work well for me? | |

Hi, A reallly really important thing is... how long your horses back is. If you horse has a short back then a round skirt would work better for you. if he has a long back then i wouldnt work about that! | |

Yeah she has a longer back, plus I dont I really like the look for the round skirt saddles.
Hopefully I will be getting this one: 16" Horse Saddle Western w/matching TACK (used 2 times) Beautiful
It's nothing special but it will get the job done for now while I keep looking for The Perfect Western Saddle.  | |

If you order one, when you get it putit on a saddle stand and sit in it for a while and see if you have enough room. As long as you don't put it on a horse you can send it back for a different one. My cousin is built alittle full through the hips and butt and she rides the Wade tree corriente in a 16" seat and loves it. | |
