It gets uncomfortable by the 5th hour, but it's not unbearable.

I prefer synthetic because it cuts down the weight she has to carry. I've come to be a synthetic lover, although, I do miss the smell/sound of a leather saddle! I ride rain or shine, snow or wind so I prefer a cheaper saddle that won't get ruined/stained in the rain. I do have some leather saddles, but I like fun saddles, this one is definitely flashy!

I've had a Wintec for 8 years, that is one of my favorite saddles to date. That saddle has been soaking wet many times, stepped on by horses, and rolled on and it still works/rides great! I also have a pink 'ostrich leather' and black synthetic saddle by Tahoe Texas Lights. It does get uncomfortable after an hour or two.




Thank you for your response! It was very helpful and I passed on what you said and the pictures. We'll be picking up a synthetic saddle this week, after sitting on one in person we both love em. And have only heard good things like what you said. Thanks again! And I love all your threads/pictures, gorgeous horses



Lol, I do love it! It's very unique! It's really fun to run barrels/poles with all her zebra gear
