"I just wanted to tell you that I have had my saddle for 2 weeks, and that I am thrilled with it! I have owned horses and trail ridden for over 42 years now, and have tried just about every type of saddle there is, and have never really been satisfied with any of them. If someone would have told me that I would find an off the shelf saddle of this quality, along with the fact that it would fit my two horses who have very different builds, I would have been skeptical to say the least!

When I first got the saddle, I was impressed with the high quality of workmanship, along with the attractive design. After calling Jamie, who by the way was very good in getting back to me (a rarity in today’s busy world) I figured out how to properly place the saddle on the horse. Although I was not used to riding so far forward in a saddle, I have always liked to ride bareback for that very reason, being right up on the horse's center of gravity. To my surprise the saddle is very stable, extremely comfortable, lightweight, and fun to ride. When I pulled the thin navaho blanket off, my horse's back was smooth and damp, with no dry spots anywhere! Even better, he moved freely down those steep hills, and had more energy than ever before. As an experiment, I put the saddle on my other horse, and lo and behold, it fit him too! Needless to say, I am sold on your saddle, and can't wait to ride some more. Thank you Gaits of Gold!"

Sincerely,

"Ninja and I really gave the saddle a workout yesterday. We did 15 miles in the North Georgia Mountains. I went out today and he is not at all sore.

 

I saw a huge difference in his desire to gait down hill. He was flying in his gait. My friend said, I never thought I'd see you ask to go fast downhill. But I felt that he was perfectly balanced and he was loving it. Thanks again, glad I had enough sense to buy it."

"I purchased one of your saddles from you last fall for my 3 yoa TW. I have raised quarter horses for the past 15 years, this is the first gaited horse I have owned. I have since sold two of my quarter horses!! I began riding my 3 year old last summer in the saddles I already own, mostly a large western saddle. The difference in how my horse moves was very apparent upon saddling her up with your saddle. I am sold on your product.

Thank you for your product."

"Just wanted to drop you a note that I got my saddle yesterday. Of course I had to try it out immediately so I put it on my husband's Walker and it fit her like a glove. WWWWOW!!! I could not believe how comfortable that saddle is! Half way through the ride my husband and I switched horses and my husband even remarked how incredibly comfortable the saddle was.
 
It fit his mare like a glove, so today I gave it the real test....my Walker gelding. I have tried numerous saddles on him, including my husband's saddle which was designed for Walking Horses but even that leaves dry spots on him. There were no dry spots under the saddle when I pulled it off! The icing on the cake is that the saddle is gorgeous! The quality of the leather is superb, and the embossing is gorgeous. I love this saddle! Thank you so much for making a product that lives up to the advertising claim. May your trails be as happy, smooth and comfortable as mine have become....... "
