Small Sample of what our Customers had to say.
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

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

Love my new Saddle, Hand Carvings are awesome, very comfortable, one of a kind. It was worth the wait. I

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 georgeous 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!
