9/13/12 Hi Terri, Charisma and I arrived at the Y6 on Tuesday afternoon. Martin Black has a series of clinics here for the next few weeks so we've been riding all day, every day. Charisma is doing wonderful in the saddle. I don't have any shims in it at the moment. This morning when we came back from moving some cattle she was the only horse that didn't have any sweat on her saddle area, even though she worked the same as all the others. I haven't seen any dry spots or ruffled hairs on her yet. I've had a few of the other students in the clinic comment on the saddle, they thought it was pretty unique. All the best, Joanna Lo Canada
8/10/12 Hi Terri! Please give our name, number or email address to anyone that wants a personal recommendation for your stock saddles!!! Montey finally had a chance to ride the big quarter horse, Joker, as well as the slightly smaller Tennessee Walker, Danny, with the new saddle. The saddle fits both horses perfectly. I’ve only attached a photo of Joker wearing his new saddle but Danny looks just as handsome. Danny was the harder to fit horse because every other saddle we’ve tried on him rolls and never stays centered. Not a problem with this one. This saddle fit perfectly from the beginning of the ride to the end. I know you took extra care to make sure the saddle skirt wouldn’t be too long for the shorter backed Danny and I’m pleased to say the length is perfect. Plenty of room left between the saddle skirt, pad and the horses hip. Montey is comfortable and secure in this saddle. Unlike other heavier Western saddles, this saddle allows a closer contact enabling him to feel the horses movement and each individual legs position. The bucking rolls came in useful the other morning when we spooked up a napping deer and Joker did a little whoop-di-do. Montey stayed right where he was. Based upon the calculations of Monteys leg length, height, weight, etc., and then deciding on the extended length fenders make this saddle a true custom fit just for him. The unique pad with the removable shims will allow Montey to use the saddle on one of our other horses that has a narrower back. See you soon, Sally & Montey Hensley Blossom, Texas texasjewel@blossomtel.com
7/18/12 Terri: I wanted to drop you a short note to let you know that I love my new saddle. It's a gorgeous saddle and a perfect fit for my horse, and after a week of riding with it I am happy to report that my quarter horse "Clark" loves it. Also, it is a huge relief to finally get a saddle that properly fits, both me and my horse. I was so worried that I would waste more money buying the wrong saddle. It took me nearly 2 years of research to find the best saddle maker (Out West Saddlery). Your knowledge of saddle fitting was obvious to me and I'm so appreciative that you were patient with me with my inquisitive phone calls and most importunately, I'm appreciative of the time you took to coach me on getting the proper measurements and templates of my horse's body (and mine). And you are so correct...the saddle places me in such a proper position, which will greatly advance my riding abilities. I'll stay in touch. Thanks again, Greg Kallmeyer Burlington, KY
5/16/12 I purchased my Out West Saddlery Stock Saddle in February this year and absolutely love it! It improved my riding instantly and my horses really loves it too. It is so comfortable to ride and I have never ridden in anything like it. Riding is always a joy for me now and as my job requires me to be in the saddle sometimes from dawn til dusk. I broke my pelvis bull riding 2 years ago and was wheel chair bound for 2 years. I have not had any pain from riding and I think my new saddle is definitely a big help. Thank You Bob & Terri!

10/ 7/11 Ms Terri, I just wanted to let you know happy I am with my new rig. The time you took with me to make sure the saddle fit me and my horse was well worth it as it fits Lady and I like a glove. After riding it for a day I can say it is one of the most comfortable saddles I have ever ridden. While fit and comfort are most important to me it sure doesn’t hurt that it looks fantastic also. The matching breast collar, bridle and saddle pockets really set it off. The family crest that Bob carved on the pockets look fantastic. Lady really does look like a Lady with this rig. Thanks again for the top notch service and craftsmanship. It is a pleasure to deal with folks that still have old style cowboy values. Regards, Mark A. Fairchild Rock & Roll MF Ranch Hattiesburg, MS.
7/5/11 “Hi Terri and Bob, I love the new saddle, and so does my horse! He has been so relaxed when saddled, as well as carrying his head lower and breaking better at the poll, AMAZING!!! We did our first parade yesterday (in Bayfield, CO), and he was not bothered by much of anything.” Don Kelly Trails Foreman Columbine Ranger District / Field Office San Juan National Forest / BLM Public Lands
6/23/11 “Hi Terri, The saddle is WONDERFUL and fits beautifully! Everyone at the barn is ooooing and ahhhhing. Touching the saddle makes me smile. Not only because it so beautifully made, but because I feel a connection with where it came from. I’m so glad I found you!” Lynn Rajewski Connecticut
