Why should you try an Advantage?
Just to get the best ride of your life!

Here is what our customers have to say:
Kathy Sparling(and all of her X-wide Mustangs)
What I love most about your saddle is the close contact and the fact that I don't feel like I'm in a saddle. It isn't like I'm riding bareback, but the saddle just seems to disappear from notice. I can feel her movement very easily and I think it fits even better in motion than it does at a standstill. I feel balanced and did my mare LOVE this saddle! She blew out and stretched out and lowered her head and raised her back. I'm beyond ecstatic with my Advantage Saddle! Thank you so much!
I think the groundseat is perfection. My legs just hang in the right place, and everything feels effortless and balanced.
Tomorrow I hope to see how the saddle fits Jacinta and/or Espie. I think it will be perfect for both of them.
Again, thank you for all your effort and hard work to make this the best saddle for me and my horses. I hope to get out on the trail in the next few days, but even in the arena, it is phenomenal!
With deep appreciation, Kathy

Hi Katee,
Sorry I've been delinquent in getting back to you! Well, let me just start out by saying I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know Starlet is a very green horse and we just started our solo rides - up the road and onto the trails - last Saturday. Katee, we had one 180 degree spook where I found myself hanging on to her left side with my arms around her neck. I truly credit the saddle with my staying aboard and not ending up on the ground.
We had our second solo ride today and I just felt so secure and safe, Katee. It is absolutely wonderful. I would not change one single thing. I love the stirrup adjustments - even more than my other saddle. You actually set the stirrups at the right level, too!
Katee, you are a genius. Thank you so much! I'll get pictures asap!

Shelly Sentyrz and Jaws: My original Advantage Saddle has served Jaws and me for over ten years and 15,000 miles...and counting! He moves so fluid, comfortable and happy in it. Several riders have tried their own saddles on him but quickly determined that he moves bigger and freer under his Advantage! Flat, hills, hot, cold, early season, late season...my Advantage fits him(and me!) like a glove!
I now have two Advantage saddles...one with foam skirts for my really big horse, Bey. I quickly saw and felt the quality of his movements change with this saddle. I cannot speak highly enough of Advantage Saddles.
Laura Hoyman and Sonny Jim: I love my Advantage Saddle! I am a novice rider, and this saddle makes it so easy to find and keep my seat, even at a canter. The light weight of the saddle makes tacking up a breeze, and the innovative rigging makes it virtually impossible to put this saddle on incorrectly! No matter how forward, or back, you put the saddle, when the horse moves, the rigging sets the saddle in just the right place every time.

Thanks for the use of the demo saddle, which I used for my riding lessons. I learned how to ride on "stable nags", usually the third or so person to ride them that day. The lesson saddles were heavy, bulky western styled saddles that I found unwieldy and difficult to even lift, much less get it onto a horse's back. But the demo Advantage saddle was easy to lift and place, even when I was just learning how to put a saddle on. After just a couple of lessons, I noticed that the lesson horses actually perked up when they saw me approaching with my Advantage saddle in hand! They were much easier to handle and seemed eager to get into the arena.
My first horse, Sunny Jim, is a rescue horse who was starved and maltreated. I first saw him all tacked up with a broken down heavy western saddle and heavy saddle pad on, hiding atrocities that should never be visited upon any living creature. When I brought him home, and treated his wounds caused by malnutrition and badly fitted saddles, I made him a promise: He would always have a saddle that fit him and was comfortable for him to wear and work in. You helped me keep that promise! Now, three and a half years later, the saddle still fits him perfectly, and is a dream for him and myself to ride.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this saddle. The horse loves it, my behind loves it, and I have two new horses who will each have one to love as well! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Kathleen Ferguson: I have owned three Advantage saddles(two now, one was sold with it's horse) that have kept my horses and me happy and comfortable for many miles of conditioning and endurance. My horse receives all A's on her back scores at rides, in 75 and 100 mile distances.
Eric Pederson and Topsy: Our Advantage is the best thing I've ever ridden in and Topsy likes it too. She's always grimaced when being cinched but the first time I put this saddle on her ears perked and she gave a big lick and sigh. She's more able to lift her back and round around barrels, using her hinds instead of wanting to pivot. For me, the balance is like nothing I've ever experienced, it makes riding easier. It breaks my heart to know what I've subjected her to over the years and how much of a difference this would have made when she was younger and still a hot rod!
PS..I ain't selling this saddle until I'm done with horses. My next horse will be chosen to fit this saddle!
