Trail Saddles
Manufacturer: Sycamore Creek Saddles
Model: CTK Taso 14
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I first became acquainted with Tony and Sycamore
Creek Saddles while searching Ebay to support my new hobby.
My wife and I purchased two beautiful Paso Fino horses in 2007
and were in need of some breed specific tack. As I began my
search I was frustrated and a bit concerned due to the prices
most wanted for Paso tack. That is until I found Tony and Sycamore
Creek. Well, in order to be completely honest in this review,
I purchased my CTK saddle from another seller and paid a lot
more. Tony and Sycamore Creek, the North American distributor,
were still in charge of making sure my saddle was delivered
to my satisfaction. A concern the seller apparently did not
share. The Taso 14, handmade in Columbia, South America is an
awesome saddle for a mere $450, which included shipping. The
saddle is $450 at Sycamore Creek Saddles, I, unfortunately paid
much more.
Likes: Price, Quality and Service. The CTK. Taso 14 is
a wonderful gaited horse style saddle that fits me and my horse
perfectly. It is hard to believe that someone can purchase a
handmade, quality saddle for this price. The materials used
are good quality and the saddle is well made. This saddle is
not stamped on an assembly line. It is a solid, handmade piece
of equipment. Just as important as the quality of the equipment
is the quality of customer service I received from Sycamore
Creek Saddles. Although, to my financial loss, I didn't purchase
directly from Tony, he has treated me as if I did.
Dislikes: There is nothing I do not like about this saddle.
It is well made with quality material at a price even I can
handle. There was an issue with the fenders, which I mentioned
to Tony. This was not a structural issue, but more of a fit
issue due to my being 6 ft and 200 lbs on a horse that might
make 14h on his tip toes. A few weeks later I received a new
set of fenders from Tony, no questions asked. Now that is customer
service! If I had purchased directly from Tony, I would have
had the opportunity to get it right the first time.
Quality: The CTK TASO 14 from Sycamore Creek is a awesome
saddle. It is handmade in Columbia, South America with good
quality material. It is a solid unit that is very comfortable
for rider and horse. My wife's horse came with a well broken-in
Ortho Flex saddle that lists for over $2000. Mine is just as
comfortable, and as well made.
Summary: The bottom Line? I said it earlier, Price, Quality
and Service. That is a winning combination. I highly recommend
Sycamore Creek Saddles and Tony Pritchett. I had the opportunity
to meet Tony at a show in Jacksonville, Florida and checked
out other CTK saddles. I can't wait to purchase again!
