Depends on quality, tell me how much you want to spend, I know of some good ones ( blisteringwinds.com ) but stay away from Silver Fox

Yes DEFINATALY stay away from silver fox. lol. I have a descent bridle by them but their saddles are not good quality. BW.com is a good place to go. Also, try e-bay. They have quite a few taack sets.
good luck!

I really don't think they are, sorry. I just wouldn't trust them to put on my horse. You'd be better off going with something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7175536488 or any of these: http://tinyurl.com/872je

Mmmm... just ran across this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7175700782 it might be perfect. Corbette is a good brand, but affordable- especially used- and that sale is for a horse rescue! (and comes with fittings!)

Also at www.countrysupply.com you can get a saddle, bridle, stirrups, and leathers for like $100 some dollars. I don't know about the quality but the deal is great.

I got my first saddle from Greenhawk as a complete package... it is cheap because it is not a brand name saddle, but it is NOT cheap quality. Six years later I still have this saddle, and if anything happens to it, I will go back and buy the exact same one again, I love it!

I dont think they are worth it. the leather is low quality and the saddles usually put you in the wrong position. you are much better off buying quality used.

i would never buy a saddle package because of the poor quality. i would go with a good use name brand saddle.
