Trail Saddles Testimonials
I purchased my first custom made wade tree saddle from Allegany trail saddles and I am very pleased with it. Staci and Melinda were so nice and pleasant and they really aimed to please me. They were very patient and i received my saddle in a very timely manner. I am so pleased and impressed with the final product and I am very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. It is a true piece of art and I highly recommend these fine people to anyone looking for a great custom saddle at a reasonable price!
OUTSTANDING! Rarely do I have the pleasure of giving, across the board, a 5 Star rating!! I truly thought after three previous custom saddles I would never find a fit that would work for my VERY short backed TWH and I am not a small woman however after another gaited rider highly recommended Allegany I was hopeful but because my previous experiences I was apprehensive. Melinda and Staci knocked it out of the park! Staci spent a lot time with a lot of patience to ensure an exact fit and I couldn't be happier! This is the first saddle, probably in my horses life (wo exaggeration) that actually fits and fits us both. Melinda's assistance in design was awesome. It's jaw dropping gorgeous, the detail and quality is beyond beautiful. I cannot thank Allegany enough for the miles and miles of happy trails ahead!!
Staci, an experienced equestrian herself, does everything in her power to make sure that each Allegany Mountain Trail Saddle truly fits the horse. Having so many saddle forms (trees) to choose from and being able to request additional design enhancements makes a huge difference in creating a correctly fitting saddle for your horse. My gaited horse has big shoulders and a very short back. His new saddle fits him perfectly and is completely comfortable for me too! The craftsmanship in the saddle from tree to finished product is excellent especially for the price. Turn around time to have a saddle made is quite reasonable. Staci and Melinda are very responsive and patient - good customer service.
LOVE my Allegany Mountain trail saddle. Here I am at the Western Dressage World show in OK showing in mine. There were two others there riding in their AMT saddle. I got LOTS of compliments and the gentleman who stalled next to me (from NE I believe) LOVED mine so much he wants one made just like it. He said he has all ready been in touch with you ladies and had a form sent out to fit his horse :D
Phone: Well, this is long overdue. I have been riding in my fabulous new saddle and accessories for several months, and love them all! First of all, Melinda, you were so patient with all of my questions and concerns, and helpful beyond words in making all the selections. The saddle fits me in the same way that my dressage saddle does...it is close contact and very comfortable. My mare seems very comfortable in it. That saddle is already well used. We began doing some extreme trail work the day after the saddle arrived, meaning we went through deep ponds right away. And of course, I put 10 or more hours of trail miles on my horse each week. As spectacular as the saddle looks, I really wanted a saddle that was comfortable for me and for my mare, and one that would take all the "abuse" from working rides. And that is exactly what I got. It is beautiful and so wonderfully functional. I LOVE it!!!! Thank you!!
Allegany made me Tapadero's for my saddle. Hats off to them for matching almost perfectly to my saddle from only a picture. With a little time they will turn the same color as the rest of my saddle. I could not be happier! Thanks from Rags and Carol!
I ordered a custom Kydaho Rancher - everything in the process from first contact to delivery was absolutely stellar! The fitting process was detailed but not particularly difficult and it gave me confidence from the very beginning that my new saddle would fit my horse.
With the help of Melinda and Stacy I now have the pleasure of going on a hike with my mare, relaxed and in good shape. Whether to define the choice of form or the options according to my request were well advised, with patience because my technical English was just. Delivered within the stated time with care. Thanks to the Allegany Mountain Trail Saddles team.
Melinda and Stacy are great! I love my saddle! Very comfortable and beautiful!
Hi Staci, I wanted to ride in my Allegany saddle for a few weeks before giving my review and sincere thanks. I have a very particular and opinionated little mare and didn't want to get my hopes up right away, this is saddle number six. As for fit, I bow before the master. This is the first saddle ever that my mare does not do a "drunken sailor" walk as I cinch her up. No matter how slowly I'd cinch her, she would cross her front legs and veer to the right. The tight rope walk is gone. She is moving freely, happily and lifting her back better then ever. Her teeth grinding and heaviness on her front end has vanished. The saddle is comfortable and the quality and craftsmanship is beautiful. Please send my thanks to your builder and carver. Attention was paid to every detail. I recently used my saddle at a Class A rated Arabian breed show and my saddle looked like it belonged in the ring. I compete my mare in Western Dressage and we earned a big and important win in my eyes. I truly believe the saddle helped me achieve this accomplishment. Two of my clients have already placed orders and two more are about to. I wish I had known about your company years ago. I highly recommend Allegany Mountain Trail Saddles for the quality and customer service. Thank you again. I've enclosed a picture of my Arabian mare Secret Desiheir after her win.
