Don’t expect anything fancy, just functional
First of all, keep in mind this is a CHEAP saddle. Don’t expect Stubben quality.
Four stars because it fits my large pony well, but the quality isn’t great, though it’s ok for daily use. We’ll see how it holds up long term.
It is comfortable for hours long riding.
The billets are set lower than my previous saddle, so I had to order a shorter girth. My old girth tightened about half way up my old saddle’s billets. It was too loose tightened to the top billet on both sides of this one.
The panels are wide and well filled, so pressure distribution along the back is good.
For every day, mostly tame terrain riding, it is fine. I recently rode 2 weeks in the Texas hill country and west Texas mountains, and the lower quality showed. Some of the nails backed out a bit, but hammered back in ok. The leather easily split when sticker branches rubbed across areas. It’s still functional though.
The rings on the back are a nice feature. I attached a western horn bag to them with some first aid supplies and snacks for all day rides, and they held up well.
