Message: Needless to say, I am very pleased with my new saddle. My trainer is also very impressed with the quality and the looks of the saddle. Many of the features she finds very practical. For instance, she is impressed with the way the girth ties up on both sides for comfort and stability and how easy it is for the rider to adjust while in the saddle, the consistency in the thickness of the leather throughout (she compared it to some of the more expensive saddles she has), how light the saddle is, the open pommel, the design of the fenders and stirrups, and the fact that the breast collar and the crupper are included in the price. She is even impressed with the saddle pad and how it has leather underneath! That's a first for her. Not only does it protect the pad, but she said the leather must eventually conform to the horse's back and become extremely comfortable. She even compared it to working gloves; she would rather have soft leather gloves protecting her hands while she works than fleece or cloth gloves. She mentioned to her husband that she is seriously thinking about investing in several of these saddles for training purposes because they would be easier for her riding students to handle and because of all the safety and comfort features.

My horse loves the saddle too! She has never had a breast collar or crupper on before, and she tolerated everything well. The saddle really is extremely comfortable.

Message: Today I received my beautiful saddle! I went and saddled up my Tennessee Walking Horse, Shadow, who usually has a stumbles and has a sore back from the saddle because of his extremely high withers. As soon as I mounted up, I could feel the difference immediately! Shadow didn't stumble once throughout the ride, and I could feel him better with this saddle than any other I've ever tried on him, even English saddles! He tried to spook a few times, but before he could bolt or do a quick sidestep, I felt him hesitate and move, and I stayed right there with him! The saddle is so comfortable with the padding and the stirrups turned correctly . . . No soreness at all! Thank you so much! I can't wait to purchase another!

Message: I wanted to tell you how much I like the saddle! It has literally changed my relationship with Spice. She is gaiting beautifully and rarely breaks gait now. I was riding in the arena yesterday with a 16 hand TWH and he was having trouble keeping up with my little Spice! She actually seems to look forward to being ridden! Several people at the ranch where I board have tried the saddle and are interested in purchasing one including the lady with the TWH! A number of folks have borrowed it to check it out on their horses. I have also been bragging about it on two websites where I "horse chat" (Parelli Savvy club, and Pasopedigree.com) I really love it! It's great for my knees and I can find my balance point on it. The light weight is fabulous for me since I have had a neck injury. I thought I would never find a pain free saddle for me and my horse. I've been looking for something like this for an entire year--It was worth the wait!

Message: GOOD AFTERNOON ! I have been very fortunate to now have your brown leather McClellan saddle with contrast stitching (white/cream). I LOVE the saddle and my mare loves the saddle. She is a rescue horse who I am retraining and treating with a lot of kindness. Even so, she has NEVER calmed down and relaxed her back and mouth until I got her YOUR SADDLE....THANKS SO MUCH ! The saddle has made a big & happy difference...even though I have used very nice western saddles AND english saddles on ''Blue.''

Message: Today was beautiful, warm and sunny, so I had a great ride, well over an hour. The saddle I bought from you is the best I've ever ridden! My mare can feel the difference I'm sure, because I can feel the difference in her gait and stride. I've recommended it to a friend of ours. He really likes mine and sat in it a few minutes to get the feel of the seat.

Message: H I thought I would let you know that I love the McClellan saddle I ordered from Paso Fino Elegante International. It fits my horse really well and looks great on him!

Message: I have another client who wants to order a saddle for a Christmas gift. I have got to get one of those saddles too when I can. I love the way they feel. I have tried Angela's saddle, and I can ride them on the Pasos as well as my very wide Quarter Horse. The jaquima is working very well. It was exactly what I needed.

Message: You were right. I used my new saddle today, and it is the best I ever rode in, including my dressage saddle. It puts you where you are supposed to be with a gaited horse. The pad is awesome. It has already conformed to the shape of my horse. It keeps the saddle in place and Gucci (my 3 yr. old) likes it too. It is light and wonderful. Thanks again for your help. Maybe in the future I'll by a trail saddle for my husband.

Message: I really love this saddle. I have received so many compliments. I give your website to anyone who inquires. I take my Peruvian Paso on 5 hour long trail rides through brush, hills, rocks, canyons, and I am never sore. This saddle is awesome. It is light, and I used to be a bareback rider as a kid and you almost get the same feel only with padding. I can feel when Mario is going to react to something and I can move with him and not be caught off guard. I keep him in the rocky hills of Hemet and this saddle makes me feel safe and secure. I have had different saddles on him and he will definitely act up if anything makes him uncomfortable. He acts perfect with this saddle and is not restricted in his movement in anyway. I can't tell you how much I love this saddle. I would never go back to a regular western type saddle again. Thank you!
