Re: [RC] [Guest] looking for feedback on Desoto saddles - Sue BrownHi Kate, I have two DeSotos and my riding buddy has one as well that is used on one of my horses. I will be ordering a 3rd one for myself soon (sending my deposit in) for a new horse I bought this summer. I love them. They are very well made and put you in a very well balanced position. You can get them with western style fenders or wide stirrup straps...I prefer the straps. I also prefer the shorter pommel since we have so many hills here and my too-well endowed midsection hits the taller one on the steep stuff. I also get extra gel padding in the seat and a narrow twist (the standard is just a bit too wide for me.) Marilyn is good to work with -- I've not had any problems nor have those I have referred to her. It takes a while to get the saddle (about 9 months) so if you're interested, get a deposit sent in to get your name on the list. I'm sending mine in soon (as soon as I find out if the new trailer brakes are going to eat up all of my slush fund. <g>) You can do a ridecamp search on the DeSotos and you should find a fair amount of info. Good luck and happy riding.

My lastest saddle is very uncomfortable for me. Now I'm considering a Desoto custom saddle. But I'm finacially and emotionally exhausted and a little afraid of buying another saddle that doesn't work for us. I ride a walking horse and though we don't do endurance competitions we train hard on the trails for fun. I like western styley endurance saddles. Do any of you have any feedback for me regarding Desoto saddles? I appreciate all and any responses. Kate.
