Once you go to a hand made saddle, you wont like the mass produced ones.

If you want a good saddle, and I mean the best, get an R.C. Bean. I have one, my dad has 3 or 4. They're the best you'll ever ride. He has a 8 yr. waiting list for them.
If you're gettin on horses that haven't been touched for a while, be prepared. Are you an experienced rider? If not, it would help to get some videos by those such as Bryan Neubert, Tom Dorrance,Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman. You'll learn a lot from those guys. Sack them out, I use a flag for that and all the round pen work. And I don't want them bucking, even in the round pen. They do want to when fresh, but they need to know when theyr'e with me they're working. I do not let them buck on the ground, they just get worked harder. But I have too many injuries from bucking horses so I start all my horses to keep them from bucking, not to get it out of them. I starting to want more reliable mounts, body can't handle it much more.

i get bucked off at least once a year and it hurts but you will get over it. Watch the Buck Brannaman tapes and they will help. It just takes alot of time and pactiences. Also make sure there not afraid of water lol.
