Hi there does anyone have or know anything about them they are only cheap so am not expecting amazing quality just was thinking of getting one for everyday espically to use in this horrible weather!! i am looking at the leather one!
thanks
 
I had one in to sell and tried it on one of my beasts.

Personaly think they look vile - but it was suprisingly comfy to ride it.
Can't imagine it living up to much though, it's cheap for a reason.....
 
Seen one they are awful. Wouldn't ride in one. Think you would do better with a second hand good saddle or a decent brand synthetic.
 
I have got one it came with one of my horses and agree with B-E it is comfy to ride in and cheap for a reason which sounds like the reason you want it...make me an offer for it if you want
 
I've got one, had it 2years and its the best fitting saddle for my round no withered pony... Very comfortable and not had any problems with it... I think he looks pretty smart in it to, its a tan and brown one and the pony is Dun!
 
I wouldn't!

They come in useful up the yard, not only can he hear the mice to hunt them out, he can hear me calling when he goes wandering... lol

honestly...a pile of shite! Tried to sell one and no one even wanted to buy it, ended up giving it a way becasue it was just taking up space!
 
I would worry more about what was in the flocking, heard some horror stories of old sanitary towels, and sharp pieces that stick in the horses back. But don't actually know if any of it is true.
 
I've taken 3 to bits and wouldn't put them anywhere near my horse or anyone elses horses.

The 'tree' is cobbled together from bits of pallets and strips of scrap metal (as are rhinegold and others made in a similar way) and far from symmetrical. There were rivets sticking out all over the places.

The flocking was made from the same stuff used to pad out amd insulate jackets and rugs and full of bit of threads from said rugs/jackets. They obviously use the left over padding for the saddles. It goes lumpy incredibly quickly and even as new had balled up.

Steer clear - they're cheap for a reason!
