Beautiful saddle for our little barrel racer. Very nice quality. Highly recommend.
SENT THE WRONG COLOR WASN'T THE COLOR WE ORDERED
I ordered purple to match my other tack, and th color was waaaay darker once it got here. Other than that it's high quality and built well..
It’s a gift for my Teen Daughter for Christmas!! I opened it to take a peek., I’m impressed!! Can’t wait to see her open it
I got the 12 inch saddle in pink with the matching headstall/chest collar (horse sized) The description should probably not read "free headstall and chest collar" because you do pay more than if you got the saddle alone but you are paying less than if you bought the head stall and chest collar separately. It should probably say "package deal". I was disappointed in that the pink on the chest collar and bridle does not match the pink on the saddle. The chest collar and head stall are more of a bright pink and the saddle is more of a purple pink. I brought it up to New England Tack And that was not something that they were willing to try to fix. The saddles are made in India. The leather is okay, not terrible. I was a little disappointed to see that they skived The skin off of the opposite side of the leather from the rough out. I don't know what this will do for long-term strength. One of my fenders had a very squishy spot that would have stretched out and caused the stirrups to be different lengths. New England Tack was good about sending a new set of fenders that I can replace. It's not going to be fun replacing the fenders, but I believe I should be able to do it. The horse sized headstall at its smallest is 36 inches from bit to bit, at its largest it is 44 in from bit to bit. We have Arabs and so we are this weird size between pony and horse. I believe these should fit my Arabs. The chest collar is slightly larger than my circle y show collar that fits my Arabs. I was limited to five pictures for this review. The billet strap is cotton webbing with a piece of leather sewn on it. It's also very short. I will probably not be using this and getting a new one that is either leather or nylon. There is no snap on the girth strap of the chest collar. You would have to put that there yourself. The stirrups are a little small and my son who wears a four shoe was a little tight. He is 4'3 and about 81 lbs. My daughter who is 5, about 3 ft 6 and 42 lb has lots of space. Her feet are nowhere near the strips but there is a lot of space for punching more holes in the fenders. I have not gotten this on my horses yet, so I can't say anything about saddle fit. I have not tried to oil it so I don't know what the paint will do long-term with oiling.
Feels so comfortable and looks Amazing! Super nice quality, specially for the price! Cannot beat it for a new saddle. Very pleased 🥰 note for photos. Its Dark red like the one photo. My camera flash is bright.
My husband loves the Duster. It is so well made. Here love that the cape is removable and that it snaps in back. Also I had to exchange it for a smaller size and the company was SO responsive and professional.
Was unsure about the quality of the leather, but its reeeeally good ! The size seems to be like announced and the seller is a real pearl. Really great christmas gift for my mom!
very nice my husband loved it. Will be ordering another one soon for my daughter
Extremely happy with the quality of the craftsmaship, and customer service. Beautiful pieces, great seller!Thankyou.
Very nice saddle for the price, I have a few high dollar saddles that are heavy so I bought 2 of these lighter ones for my young colts and there very nice and comfortable on Trailrides, 16 miles first day and notsoreatall!
Bought for my boyfriend, love the design. It’s a pretty thin leather belt. Good quality
Great belt worn everyday even when working super sharp details on the leather. The belt also has stayed in good condition for months.
I have my kids (6-8 years old) riding a mutton withered quarter pony. It's near impossible to find a 12" saddle with full quarter horse bars. I thought this saddle might be the solution. Unfortunately, the fender length did not size down with the smaller seat. They attach at onto the skirt instead of under the jockey seat, making then even longer. I'm 5'2" and the stirrups are even too long for me.... On a 12" saddle. The length of the fenders is the same as a 12" pony saddle I own, but because they attach 6-8" lower on the saddle, it means the stirrups will always be too long.
Now I have to get those little stirrups that you hang over the horn, for a kids saddle :/ can't return because I can't afford a more expensive saddle and I'm out of options for kids wanting to ride. It will do for now, but I will have to replace soon - just not sure with what.
I will say that the general saddle quality was better than what I was anticipating for the cost, but the design not so much.
This is great saddle exactly what I Bought this for my 9 year old and she loves the saddle I thought I order the teal but it was blue but still love it supper fast shipping.hat I was looking for in quality craftsmanship. I will be purchasing another saddle and other products from Newenglandtack.
My daughter LOVES this saddle! Very well made saddle!
Very heavy, good quality. My only complaint is the sleeves are too long.
The hat is attractive and I feel like it is a good value.
Well made comfortable saddle. Well made and durable. My kiddo watches tv on it on the stand , rides pleasure and has started barrels on it and its a great saddle. Definitely recommend.
Cute little saddle for our daughter. Extremely fast shipping! She loved it when it arrived
I received my saddle so quickly and it's absolutely gorgeous!!
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this saddle. Fits my daughters pony perfectly. We have been on some very steep hills and downward slopes the saddle doesn't slip or slide even after hours long trail riding. My daughter loves the higher back, she says it helps her feel more secure. I would definitely purchase it again.
Beautiful saddle! Cant wait to see it onmyhorse!
Great communication, super fast shipping, good value for the price.
