First The nylon duffle Bag the saddle came in was really nice never saw that before and i have bought quite a few saddles over the years , Impressive ! I love the look of the saddle , and the lighter weight is a major plus , Very comfortable , Rode with it yesterday , I didn’t buy it for roping actually want it for ranch work and riding out on , The stirrup leathers coming out above the skirting , really helps with knee pain belive it or not no stress with this style ! Had a knee injury flares up on long rides . One thing stirrups could be a little wider a little tight !
