Manufacturer: Sycamore Creek Saddles / CTK Saddlery
Model: Black 16" seat TAS013-A
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: Two months ago, I acquired a rescue Paso Fino.
For the first few rides under saddle, I used my spare dressage
saddle on him. I much prefer a western type saddle. Knowing that
Pasos are difficult to fit, I went on ebay looking for paso saddles.
SCS & CTK kept coming up. After reviewing them here, I purchased
one Tony had in stock. He guaranteed it to fit after looking at
wither tracings and pictures of his back. I only paid $441.00
for this saddle, including shipping.
Likes: Plain and simple, I like every thing about this
saddle. The saddle is light weight, well made, and great quality.
The seat is memory foam cushion....it feels weird to sit on it.
After a few minutes as it heats up, it conforms to your seat bones
and thighs. It is remarkably comfortable. The center-fire rigging
is new to me. I learned from Tony to start the rigging off of
the back D's. I don't know why...but it works. The saddle is incredibly
secure on my horse. I only use a thin dressage saddle pad...this
saddle has the same memory foam on the underside. It conforms
to the horse's back...During an hour ride today, my horse was
calm and comfortable. After the ride, there were no missing hairs
or unusual marks. Horse seems happy. The stirrups are pre-turned.
I found this odd. After a while, I decided that all should be
this way.
Dislikes: There is only one thing I do not like about this
saddle. I poorly time my purchase of this saddle. I just had major
surgery and I am not allowed to ride my horses yet. I had a great
friend of my saddle and my horse. Both were incredibly happy.
I only wish it could have been me. Another 4 weeks. Oh, I also
changed out the girth as my boy is small. The girth that came
with the saddle was too long for my horse. Nothing wrong with
it...just too long.
Quality: I am very please with the construction and quality
of this saddle. The rigging is easy and straight forward. My saddle
stays put, my horse is happy, and my wallet isn't empty. The leather
is nice and soft. I have conditioned it already. It is light weight
and easy to tack up. Per Tony, only a light weight pad like a
dressage pad is needed. I found that a typical western pad is
too thick and the saddle rolled...Lesson learned.
Summary: I love this saddle and I love Sycamore Creek Saddles.
I asked tons and tons of questions...I still do. I thought Tony
would have gotten tired of my by now...No that man has the knowledge
and patience to do such a job. I am very grateful to him for his
help and support for this saddle. Tell me where you can get such
great customer service...AFTER....the sale. He has been very helpful...even
after he had my money. Other places only care about that dollar
and forget about you later. Not him...no way. Wonderful saddle,
Great price, Unbeatable customer service. Thank you Tony.
