| First Choice Sports Saddles is the name of a company that sells Bob Marshall treeless saddles. We bought deluxe trail sport saddles from this site. It's also a great place to explore used Bob Marshall sport saddles, great deals but they get sold quick. The website is www.sportsaddles.com. Kellye, how do you like the endurance model? I absoslutely wouldn't trade my trail model for anything in the world. But I was interested in purchasing the endurance model at some point. |

Location: Milton, Florida | Oh, that's Geri's website!! That's who I bought my saddle from a couple of years ago. I LOVE my endurance saddle. I've tried the sport saddles with the horns, and I don't like them as much. I do alot of trotting and the horn always hit my belly when I posted and was quite uncomfortable.
The only bad thing I have to say about my saddle is that it's plain and kind of ugly. I know that now they can be ordered with neat colors, tooling and other things to make them look pretty, but there's nothing prettier than a traditional western style Arabian saddle. But my horse has chronic back problems from being a rental horse before I got him. He spent a few years being ridden in saddles that didn't fit him and now he has scar tissue all up a down his back. A treeless saddle is the ONLY saddle that he will stand for!
So, yes, I would buy again from Geri at First Choice. She knows her stuff. I love my endurance saddle, but the next one I get will have a few more bells and whistles, just so it'll be a bit more attractive.
Funny, I'm not a person who likes "pretty over practical" but I still drool over the beautiful Arabian saddles in some of the catalogs I get. What size endurance saddle are you looking for? Maybe I'll sell you mine and I'll get a newer model...hehehe....hubby would KILL me!!! |

| Is your saddle a basic endurance saddle, or do you have up grades on it? What kind of condition is it in? I think mine is 16" but not sure. I will measure it.

| Basic with modification to panels-soft leather with finished edges(stitched) to allow closer contact and biothane stirrup leathers. I do have photos showing the panels, and the rest of the saddle. It is in good condition.
