Customer Comments
Small Sample of what our Customers had to say.
Just a note to say you made a wonderful Saddle.The T-150 saddle with semi-quarter horse bars and rounded skirt
is a good fit for my Mustang. Since he is short backed and mutton withers he was a hard fit. I searched all the
saddle shops locally and could not find anything that would fit him that was reasonably priced. I am now riding a
horse that doesn't come back from the trails with a sore back. This saddle is well worth what I paid for it.
Vicky Vicky Purchased the # T-150 Trail Saddle
The saddles have worked out great, may need another one in the near future. Thanks again.
Duane Duane Purchased the W-1 Walker Saddle and the T-17 Trail Saddle
Received my saddle today and it is perfect. It really is a work of art. Saddle is very comfortable.
Thank you so much.
Aloha, Sharon Sharon Purchased the Flex Trail Saddle # T-172
Wow, I am glad I took your advice on the Modified Barrel Saddle. It makes a wonderful Show Saddle and is very
comfortable for just riding around the trails. The hand carvings are beautiful.
Ann Ann Purchased the # S-00-SP All Purpose Saddle
This Beartrap Rancher is Great, I have been looking for this type of Saddle for a long time, it rides great has
very good quality components. I have some friends who want one just like it.
Skipper Skipper Purchased the Beatrap Ranch Saddle # W-B
Love my new Saddle, Hand Carvings are awesome, very comfortable, one of a kind. It was worth the wait. I
wanted to leave good feedback for your products. My saddle is so nice and you folks went the extra mile for me.
Anette Anette Purchased the W-2S Wade Saddle
Hi, Love my new Saddle, fits my Horse and me very well, it is a favorite around the Club. I have some friends
who want one just like it.
Kasey Kasey Purchased the Bolten Speed Master Barrel Saddle B-155
We really like the two Saddles, the Mahogany is a beautiful color, we are really pleased that we paid so little for
such nice quality.
Dave Dave Purchased the T-316 Trail Saddle and the T-171 Trail Saddle
Thanks for the quick delivery on the Walker Saddle, wow was I surprised, I thought I would have to pay 1,500.00
for this kind quality and wait 8 weeks or more. Keep up the good work.
Lisa Lisa Purchased the Walker W-2 Saddle
I have to tell you about the saddle first. That is the best riding saddle I have been in. All the people who ride with
me guessed at the price, they were way high. They guessed at anywhere between $800 and $1200. They all have
your number and web address. I expect you to get several orders for saddles like mine shortly. The saddle is
great. Thanks for a great saddle.
Tony Tony Purchased the # B-10 Barrel Saddle
Saddle fits beautifully! It is a beautiful thing to see and light enough for me to lift. She liked the saddle pretty
well, she seemed comfortable and went forward easily. I think we are both going to be very happy!
Thanks so much for your help with this - I'll send you a picture.
Marjorie Marjorie Purchased the CN-54R Round Skirt Cordura Trail Saddle
Tried the Saddle on today and it fit great. It looks gorgeous and it is light enough for me to lift onto my Horse
without straining. Thanks for your patience in helping me finding the right Saddle. I have tried several other
brands and they were either too heavy or did not fit. Your help will not be forgotten.
Elizabeth Elizabeth purchased the CN-54 Cordura Trail with Flex Tree
Finally opened the box today, it has gotten a little to cold to ride lately. O my gosh, was I astonished! This Saddle
is so beautiful I am afraid to ride in it, I might get it dirty. I think I will order another one and keep this one for
special occasions.......How long did it take to do the engravings? I have never seen such detail in a saddle costing
less than $2,000.00
Jennie Jennie purchased the T-320 Two Tone Trail Saddle
Hello Kevin... We went to the UPS Store and picked up the saddle... It is beautiful! I really love the leather and
the craftsmanship that went into making this saddle...Also I love the deep padded seat with the rise in the
front...I have always wanted a saddle like that! I have plans to go try the saddle on Gennie today. Again, I am so
impressed with this saddle! And talk about quick delivery! Wow. Take care and Merry Christmas!
Happy Trails, Ava Ava purchased the T-200 Old Time West Trail Saddle
I really love the saddle. I love the color combination I ordered and it looks great on my horse! The seat is very
comfortable, the stirrups seem to be placed right where they should be....underneath my seat and not in front of
me! EXCELLENT feature for an endurance saddle!!! After a 3 hour ride, my hips and lower back do NOT hurt;
first time that's happened in a few years. The saddle is SO lightweight. I think my horse liked that right away.
It really is nicely put together and is a very balanced saddle, which I find is getting harder and harder to find
these days. Even the very expensive saddles aren't "balanced" real well any more. And all for the price of an
off the shelf saddle, I got one made just like I wanted it, nicely customized to my likes and needs and got it
unbelievably fast!!!
Kellye Kellye purchased the E-54R Endurance Cordura
I rode in the saddle about four times. Twice just for a little while at home, and then on one ride for four hours at
a walk and last Friday for four hours in a horsemanship clinic (lots of trotting and loping). I am very, very happy
with the saddle, it fits me and is comfortable and more importantly it seems to fit Joe. He does not appear to
have any dry spots under the saddle which is just awesome. It was well worth the wait and I am happy that I did
get it with the horn.
Julia Julia purchased the T-09 Utility Trail
Just wanted to let you know that I love my Saddle it fits all the Horses here very well. I have several people at
the Ranch that will be buying a new Saddle from you soon.
Jim Jim Purchased the R-47 Ranch Saddle
Received the Saddle last week, took it for a ride and it is Great, just like my friends Saddle. I am sure glad you
still made that model.
Sandy Sandy Purchased the Flex Trail # T-17-2
I sincerely appreciate all the help that Southern Trails provided so that I could find the best fitting saddle for my
Rocky Mountain Horse. As a new owner and rider of a gaited horse, fit is crucial for a happy, comfortable and
safe mount and its rider. The knowledge you shared to help me understand my own horse, how to assess and
select saddles and their features, and all the after sales help were nothing short of outstanding. We found the
staff to be knowledgeable and professional, and the saddle a quality product. Thank you very, very much!
Our sincere thanks to Southern Trails,
Kelly Fox & Stormy, CO Kelly purchased the T-1402 Comfort Trail
Ok Kevin, you've done it! After riding in the saddle you made for Rita and Kelly I may have to convert to one of
your fun western saddles! My husband already gave me the go ahead as a Christmas present! I'm already trying
to decide on the colors and design! Kelly is a hard to fit paint/TW cross and easily agitated mare. She's only 14.2,
but moves big. That saddle felt like it was part of her! I was really impressed. Rita's already more confident and
Kelly is much more relaxed!
This was taken from a Post on a Large Horse Forum by Rita's Friend Rita purchased the BC-155 Saddle
The B-155 is the best saddle ever!!! I love it!!! Fits great! My girlfriend tried it and she loved it too. Thank you so
much! and the gentlemen that took my order was wonderful!!! The best buy I have made in a long time. Thanks
again!!!
Jennifer Jennifer Purchased the B-155 Saddle
Just got back from another race. She took first!! I swear it's the saddle. She can move and extend freely now.
Everyone seems amazed about how our short, FAT, straighthocked cowhorse can beat the pants off their tall,
long-legged running horses. I guess it amazes me too. We hadn't seen the sun in days, and put the saddle on the
horse for the second time tonight. Still got many compliments and lots of stares and whispers about the saddle.
And it's gonna take awhile to wipe the smile off Mandy's face.
Thanks a bunch, Carol Carol Purchased the B-264A Barrel Saddle
Sorry I took so long to let you know how I am doing with my new saddle but I had to REALLY try it out! I have
been on a few good rides, lots of hills, water crossings and good fun....and I am so happy to tell you my saddle fits
my VERY hard to fit fjord/percheron gelding great!
I was so pleased and flattered to see my saddle on the web-site(chocolate brown w/custom tooling T-200)!
It's a beautiful saddle, fits myself and my horse comfortably, all at a reasonable price and your wonderful
attention to details made this the best saddle purchase I have ever had. The custom tooling is a beautiful tribute
to my Dad and I can't thank you enough for your help with the design!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Amy Amy Purchased the T-200 Old Time West Trails Saddle
I needed to have a special saddle made for me. Because of surgery I couldn't spread my legs very far apart to
set in a deep seated saddle. Also, I'm very short with short legs.
I rode the saddle in my arena Tuesday night and ranch sorting on Wednesday night. It felt great!! Everything
seemed like it fit in the right places.
Kevin worked with me to build the perfect saddle and it works great. I'm now do ranch sorting and trail riding in
a lot more comfort than I was with my old saddle. With all the changes the saddle still was nice looking. My
husband and I are very impressed with the saddle. If we need another one, we will buy one from Southern Trails
again. Thanks for the great saddle and all the time you took working on it with me.
Debbie Debbie Purchased a Modified Combination of the T-153 and R-104 Saddles
Kevin,
Got the saddles tonight. Tomorrow we will try them on our horses but the initial reaction is that they are
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Dear God, what nice saddles!
Day Two: Rode the horses tonight in the new saddles. The best we have both ever been in. We are a barn with
lots of traffic and everyone who saw the saddles loved them. They could not believe the prices either for custom
made saddles.
To be perfectly honest, I am the kind of person who still believes in hand made things. I would always prefer to
go to someone like you rather than give money to a chain or a giant corp.
Anyways, I will try and spread the word. There are a bunch of people here riding ******* and our saddles top
them all, only we paid half the price!
If you have someone email you from Florida who is interested in seeing a saddle before buying it, feel free to
give them my email - I would be more than happy to show it. You came through on the weight too, after ten days
of lifting a heavy saddle for my wife, finally she is able to lift her own, heh.
All in all, beautiful workmanship, pretty saddles and they fit great too. What's not to like?
