 I have a saddle coming from Kevin Parrish, aka The Saddle Guy. He has bought the design of the old Tarpin Hill saddle and makes his saddles off that form. Here is his website: The Saddle Guy. He also has a good Facebook page with pictures of his saddles. Saddle Guy Facebook.


We have started looking at his saddles with a plan to get a couple for our boys...I will be interested to hear your review once you get your new saddle.
My wife has tried the Lady Tennessean from National Bridle and a Tucker Endurance saddle.  They are both, initially, comfortable for her but after a few hours not so much.  She needs a saddle with a narrow twist.  We are hoping a custom saddle (from the Saddle Guy) can help her stay comfortable for an extended time in the saddle.


We were just in Destin Fl and made the 2 hour drive over the The Saddle Guy's shop.  Kevin and Whitney (his wife) were very helpful and very nice...

My wife found a saddle she liked..and we ordered it!
Kevin is shipping some type of adjustable fitting tree (with instructions) so we can get the horse fit just right!
