Bob's Custom saddles - like them?

DoWeDance · 11-28-2006, 02:44 PM

Does anyone here have a Bob's Custom saddle? My trainer has let me use hers, and I am in love with it. I really like the close contact feel. They are so pricey, though! They retail for around $4,000 new, and used ones are not cheap either. But tonight, I just saw one go for $1,200 on ebay - 3 years old - used once! I am kicking myself for not having the money to bid! So, what do you guys think of Bob's?

Sooo...No one's got a Bob's? Just wanted some opinions before I make a purchase.

I've got one! I've got one! It's a cutting saddle and it's very nice. My Husband LOVES it. They're great saddles and they do hold their values. We sell Kathys and I've heard they're VERY awesome to ride in, gonna have to break down and buy myself one here next year. Not that we'll prob. show under saddle, but I could go for a new reiner! We did ship one to Canada and it was absolutely beautiful. Well tooled, well made, well oiled, etc.

Yay! Glad to hear you like your Bob's. I think they are a sound investment, too. Definitely going to take some saving, but I know I'll have it forever!

I have one! Its a KR lady Reiner and by far the most confortable saddle I've ever ridden in. It has a narrow twist seat making it build for a woman's bone structure. I had Broken Horns before and thought those were comfy but this Bobs is amazing. They seem to last really well too! I got mine new from cowdogsaddles they have a web site so I would search for that. I also tried to get one used but all the reiners like to keep there saddles it seems, lol, so i just broke down and bought a new one. It was a hefty price but I really think its worth it.
