I have been browsing for a new saddle for my son as he is 9 years old. I would like to make him one myself but I would rather buy one and spend the time building him one for when he is older and can have it for a longer period of time. I was Googling around and found Sheridan Saddle Co. I called them up and wanted to know about their quality and prices and was blown away. They knew their stuff and the price was unbelievable. They had a 13" Roper Saddle in stock with smaller fenders to take up for my son as he is only like 4 feet tall and so I ordered it. They affirmed that this saddle would be a good option for him and that their seat size was true to size, and the fenders would take up for my son. I got the saddle 3 days later and I am amazed at the quality. My grandpa made saddles so I am a little particular about a few things. I do not do it for a living but I like to build a few saddles a year. I made a few modifications to the saddle when it arrived to fit my son perfectly but long story short....he is riding and I am building him an adult ranch saddle and I am happy. I will be back again when my daughter gets a littler order.
