Horse owners have contacted us with all kinds of saddle and riding problems. We've been around for about 16 years, since the treeless saddle era began, and we've managed to help many people, and there are many riders out there still that haven't come across the proper blend of saddle and pad. Some people have been disadvantaged by having bought a saddle that sored their horses’ shoulders or create
d an aching back problem. So initially, some people are skeptical, but others are receptive, many are hopeful that they have found a permanent, long-term solution to their riding problems. Bob Marshall's Sports Saddles with the Skito Equalizer saddle pads solve an incredibly wide range of riding and saddle problems. We have heard from increasingly more and more people that their veterinarian recommended that they try one. Frequently, people have asked, "What is the most popular Bob Marshall Sports Saddle?". Both the black and chocolate, 15" to 16" Endurance, smooth leather saddles is one of the best selling models. Smaller and larger sizes are available as well. Also, the Basic Trail Rider and Barrel Saddles are best selling models. The Sports Saddles are in demand and they don't stay in stock very long. Usually, the saddles are not made ahead of time. Instead, each saddle is made-to-order, which, in part is why you won't find these saddles sold in tack shops. Sports Saddles that are available right now can be seen on the Saddles In Stock page at http://www.sportsaddle.com/instocks.html. We attribute the popularity of the Sports Saddle to these two factors, i.e., the improved comfort they provide to horse and rider, and the way they solve riding problems, thereby improving enjoyment of the sport, and reducing the associated costs, such as, buying extra saddles, veterinarian costs and so forth. The product guarantee can be applied effectively in the US and the saddlery will honor their guarantee. Shipping within the continental US is about $50.00 US dollars per saddle. Overseas shipping costs are priced individually, and can cost a lot more.
