I see in your profile that your were born in 1986. I hope the saddle comes in a bigger size than a 13 inch. That would be way too small for you, assuming you are a normal sized teen. Also, if you are planning on barrel racing, showing in judged events of ANY kind, that saddle would not be appropriate. If would be dangerous for barrels because it does not have a deep seat, it has no barrel type horn to hold on to, the fenders are not rough out and the cantle and pomel are not high enough. Most barrel saddles "hold" you in. For any judged event, the color would never cut the mustard. I guess you could say I don't care for that saddle AT ALL, for many reasons.

![]() ![]() ![]() | I don't know what classes you are planning on showing in, but as Belle said, that is a big no-no. It says suggested retail price is over $500................NOT! Last edited by AQHA1972; 11-26-2004 at 03:13 PM. |

Ow my eyes. It'd be great for a parade but for general riding its not quite my taste.

I would say, if you fit in a 13" saddle, and you like it, and want to use it for PLEASURE RIDING ONLY, then go ahead if you want it. But as belle mentioned, this is definitely not a barrel racing saddle, and not something a lot of judges would look for. But if you still want it for parades, trail riding, or just pleasure riding, then why not if you like it.
