Looking at buying another saddle....really impressed with the Henry Miller saddle. Would like feedback on the Old Timer, Buena Vista (with horn..Western) or the endurance, or any of the Miller trail saddles.

Can't say since I've never ridden one, but they look good and the price is good. I wonder how much they weigh?? A couple of them look like they'd be heavy saddles.

I have an Eli Miller. Not sure what model it is, as I bought it used. But it's a very comfortable saddle to ride in. It's like setting in a chair on top of your horse. I rode in a Circle Y before that... I would like to have an Old Timer. They are lite weight saddles..

I know the Buena Visa, endurance and Old Timer are lite weight. I also like the trail saddle. Do you know if it comes in only square skirt or both? Hopefully, the trail one is also lite wt. Kinda looks heavy though.....but I was really surprised at the wt. when I picked up the Buena Vista (with horn) in the tack shop!!!! Talk about compfortable, too.Anyone else with info on EM saddles, let's hear from you!

I have an Eli Miller buena vista with the western stirrups. The leather was so soft that you didn't need to turn the stirrups when new. Can ride all day and not be sore. Its a first rate saddle!!

All of the Miller saddles are lite weight and the trail saddle is available with a square or round skirt. However, the trail saddle does not have the suspended seat like the Old Timer and the Buena Vista.

I came across an Eli MIller saddle in a consignment shop. It has the plantation fenders, english stirrups, horn. Rounded /hardly ANY skirts, fleece underneath. Brass fittings.
Had the leather girth and matching breast collar. It was priced at $550. 16" seat. Appeared to have been carefully used and cared for. Good++ condition.

Not a bad price.......I am looking at a trail saddle, breast collar, bridle and reins for $950 new. I think the folks selling them have some room to work with you.

Wow...thanks for the offer! I have already ordered the Buena Vista. I took my horse to a rep and got to ride in it....great ride. I'm excited and should get it the second week in Oct. Since we can ride year-round here, I'm looking forward to lots of rides and camp trips. I also got the breast collar, bridle, reins.

Hi
My name is Josephine Datis. I am looking to buy a Henry Miller endurance saddle. I would like to buy it directly from Henry Miller. Would you be able to help me with his info. I saw on the chat that he has made saddles for you.
Thank you so much for your help and time.
