mworthan Report post Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) They have my vote! Nice, consistant, well made trees. I use the DuraK coated TM Team Roper trees with glassed in strainers and my customers (as well as myself) love it. Thom is a great guy to work with as well as Armando. The Competition bars fit these big, meaty horses around here better than just about any tree I have used. I've taken the same saddle and thrown it on what looks to be a much slighter built horse, lighter in the shoulder, with identical results. The bars are a little shorter which also works better for these shorter backed horses that seem to be the "norm" (here at least). The seat is the best glassed in strainer I've sat in, period. Never had one come in twisted, unsymmetrical or with signs of poor craftsmanship. I am on my 7th tree and you could swap any piece of leather on one tree of identical specs and they would fit the other exactly... real handy if you build a lot of the same thing for a group of ropers or such when it comes to patterns and layout. No paid endorsement here... just a customer. - Mike from Rome, GA Edited May 13, 2011 by mworthan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
