Does anyone have any special thoughts on this saddle? I'm just browsing different saddles currently and this one caught my eye but I wanted to see if anyone had anything to say before I took it into serious consideration. Here is it:

I have heard good things about them, but I haven't had my hands on one myself. If they have a return or trial period policy, I would definitely give them a shot.
That said, you can get a high quality used saddle around the same price, or a little more.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that brand of saddle.

It's a good lookin' design. Light weight. Not more familiar than that with the brand though.

I'm not familiar with the brand but it looks pretty, the price is right. I have a Martha Josie Barrel Saddle [Got it on e-bay] and that's pretty comfortable. It wasn't cheap though. I had to have it though because it fit Rompy, it was hard to find something to fit him.
I rode in a saddle last week that was really comfortable, it's a Showman I think. They are also expensive. My friend rides in a Big Horn. She loves that brand. I can't get comfortable in it though because the seat is too big and it's not suede so I slide on it to much plus it weighs a ton, I can't lift it! I have a Billy Cook and a Tex Tan for Delta, I mostly ride in the Tex Tan, the BC just doesn't seem that comfortable any more but it's a pretty saddle.

It does look like a nice comfy saddle, are you going to bid on it?
Looks good to me. Ralide trees have been around long enough, with no problems. They aren't for roping. I like the in-skirt rigging that it has. Hope it works for you.

I have a Riders Choice saddle and I like it. For the money you really can't go wrong. I have one of their barrel saddles too. I couldn't afford a brand new Circle Y, so went with Riders Choice. I got the 15 inch seat, but kind of wish I had gotten the 14 inch.
I use it for trail riding too.

I feel like the odd man out I don't think it looks that great. For that price i'd go used. you could find something much nicer it just doesn't look built well.
I think its a cute looking saddle, but I am not familiar with the brand. It does look better than many of the saddles I see in that price range.
