All of mine are original Skyhorse/Skyrider
saddles made by the folks who were in Trinidad, CA and are now in CO..the
quality is acceptable..my oldest one is 10 yrs old and had a D ring attachment
weld break..easy to fix at home..like I said, this saddle is certainly not for
everyone..it is a different feel.

Not too long ago, someone

Colin Dangaard (who now sells a version made in India), and the upshot
is that I've ordered it.
Do you have any idea what the quality is like? My experience has been
that saddles made in India are inferior.
That being said... I bought a Skyrider saddle years ago from the people
who made them originally. I know many people love them but for me and my horse
it did not work. We both hated it. It gave him a very sore back, was
uncomfortable for me to ride in, and made terrible clicking noises everytime
the bars would flex. I found it was more comfortable if I was riding fast and
posting and 2-pointing a lot. But for just plain pleasure riding, it was not a
pleasure.
