We had to share what our wonderful client Mayra has to say! You can find more information on our saddles here: www.alleganysaddlery.com We're getting busy marking down some in stock saddles for cyber Monday as well! You can find our in stock inventory at this link too ;)
Hi Staci,
I wanted to let you know that I have been riding in my Renegade Endurance saddle through the spring, in the arena and around my petite ranch, and through the summer that included riding in the Sierra mountains in Sequoia National Forest.
I could not be happier with this saddle. For one, I keep it in my home office just so I can look at it, it is so beautiful, a work of art.
My horse, Sherakai, seems very happy and moves well. But that is not only because of the custom fit of the tree, it is more because I am balanced in the saddle with my feet under me due to the placement of the stirrups.
All of my previous saddles had the stirrup leathers more forward which caused me to unwittingly pound my poor mare's back. No matter how hard I tried to post softly and sit balanced, those saddles made it impossible. I struggled all these years to have a balanced seat, blaming myself for poor horsemanship; when it was the saddle.
So now I find everything is easy and I am in fact a very good rider and balanced. I can ride the trot rising or sitting with softness and I have more confidence at the canter because I am balanced and moving with my horse. She appreciates it too and is more relaxed.
I wish I had had this saddle years ago and I am glad I made the decision to purchase it and be patient and wait for it to be made. It has been worth it!
Happy trails,
Mayra Paldon
